Home Assistant was abandoned by me last month because I got tired of struggling with YAML for my automation tasks and gladys with its visual scene editor and conditional logic has helped me a lot. It is working flawlessly on my mini PC alongside my Zigbee and matter devices. What I want to ask is how gladys works when two community add-ons try to access the same device at once.
salman_anwar_awan · Review on Product Hunt
twelve years on the same project, from a Raspberry Pi in a bedroom to a real v5, is its own answer to whether the local-first pitch is sustainable. one thing that stands out: the free tier is fully local and offline-capable, but Gladys Plus adds "an AI assistant" as a paid feature. does that assistant run against a cloud LLM, and if so how do you square that with the rest of the pitch being "runs on hardware you own, keeps working when the internet goes down"?
