Privacy-first open-source home assistant that keeps all data locally.
Core Features
- Local privacy: all data stored on your device, no cloud uploads
- One-command deploy via Docker
- Runs on Raspberry Pi, NAS, mini-PC
- Integrates lights, sensors, cameras, locks, and more
- Voice control via Google Assistant & Amazon Alexa
What It Can't Do
- •The Docker command uses --privileged for hardware access; understand security implications. 2. SQLite may have performance limits under heavy load; regular backups recommended. 3. Some plugins require extra dependencies (e.g., ffmpeg for cameras). 4. For production, use a reverse proxy rather than default port 80.
Use Cases
- Home automation: timers, scenes, schedules
- Security monitoring: local alerts with cameras and sensors
- Remote control via web interface
Detailed Introduction
Gladys Assistant is an open-source smart home platform designed with privacy at its core. It runs entirely on your own hardware (Raspberry Pi, NAS, mini-PC) and does not rely on cloud services, ensuring all your data stays local. With a single Docker command, you can deploy a fully functional home automation system that integrates with many devices like lights, sensors, locks, and cameras. Gladys offers a clean web interface, voice control via Google Assistant/Amazon Alexa, and a flexible rule engine for automation. Its active community contributes plugins, translations, and documentation. Compared to Home Assistant, Gladys emphasizes simplicity and privacy, making it ideal for users who want a straightforward, self-hosted solution without complex configuration.
