If cloud-dependent smart home hubs and YAML-heavy configuration files leave your household at the mercy of vendor outages and broken scripts, Gladys Assistant puts your entire home under clean, point-and-click local control. Zero YAML required. Pair thousands of lights, thermostats, smart plugs, locks, and sensors directly through native Zigbee2MQTT, Matter, Z-Wave, and MQTT support, or install hundreds of sandboxed community integrations for Philips Hue, Shelly, Sonos, TP-Link Tapo, Netatmo, and Reolink cameras in a single click. Visual scenes make automation effortless. Trigger multi-step routines from motion sensors, sunrise schedules, house presence, calendar events, or electricity tariff changes, and chain conditional actions with delays, HTTP webhooks, and Telegram alerts. Customizable room dashboards display live RTSP camera streams, climate charts, weather forecasts, and interactive dimmer controls. Built-in energy monitoring tracks real-time wattage, historical kWh consumption, and utility contract costs across every circuit. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Over 400 technologies and thousands of smart devices from any manufacturer, unified under one roof: openHAB is the vendor-neutral home automation platform with a pluggable binding architecture. Each binding translates a device or service into openHAB's clean abstraction: Things expose Channels, Channels link to Items, and Items feed a rules engine that runs your home. That engine meets you at your skill level: Blockly gives non-programmers drag-and-drop visual logic, JS Scripting (GraalJS with the openhab-js library) is the modern text-based standard, the classic Rules DSL remains supported, and JSR223 opens the door to Python, Ruby, and Groovy. Time- and event-based triggers, scripts, notifications, and voice control compose into automations of any complexity, and users report decade-old rule sets still running rock solid. The Main UI handles configuration, semantic modeling, and now built-in charting - no external Grafana required. Built in Java on Apache Karaf's OSGi runtime and stewarded by the non-profit openHAB Foundation, it requires no cloud to function: everything runs locally, talking directly to your devices. Optional connectors bridge to Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeKit, with iOS, Android, and web apps for control from anywhere.
