Gladys Assistant
Self-hosted smart home hub that runs automations locally, no cloud required.
Gladys Assistant runs your smart home automations — scenes, voice control, energy tracking — on your own hardware, including a Raspberry Pi, with no mandatory cloud and no tracking. It talks to Zigbee, Matter, MQTT, Tuya, Netatmo, Sonos and Zendure devices natively, plus community-built integrations for the rest. The core is free to use locally forever; remote access to your home from outside your network is a paid feature on top.
What holds up
- +Self-hosted — your smart home data stays on your own machine, no mandatory cloud.
- +Runs on a Raspberry Pi and stays responsive, per users who've run it for years.
- +Free forever for local use — scenes, dashboard and voice control need no paid plan.
- +Auto-upgrades install new features and fixes without manual maintenance.
Mind the limits
- −Remote control of your home from outside your network needs the paid version.
- −Installation needs Docker — not a one-click app-store download.
