Gladys VS rhasspy

We are making Gladys Assistant ( https://gladysassistant.com/ ), an open-source smart home software.

It's less "techy" than HA (no YAML files, no CLI), and UI first.

We have way less integrations for now, but are working hard on it.

Don't hesitate to try it and make us some feedback.

My name is Pierre-Gilles and I'm the core maintainer of Gladys Assistant, an open-source smart home software based on Node.js/Preact.js (https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys).

Nice project! Just one question, how do you find open-source projects?

I'm the core maintainer of an open-source smart home software (https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys, 2.2k stars, has been existing since 2014), and is not listed, any reason why? :)

Link dump of assistants I want to check out, sadly with a noticeable home-automation slant: Leon, github readme, self-hosted server susi.ai, github AI-centric approach to an app/voice/text assistant Mycroft AI more AI. Dedicated hardware planned. Jasper voice-centric assistant Rhasspy, forum offline assistant services Home Assistant OpenHAB home automation integrator Gladys home assistant

Don't forget to stop writing to the database while doing the backup, otherwise you can run into an infinite loop if you write faster than sqlite3 .backup is doing the backup :D

Learned that the hard way when implementing sqlite3 backups on Gladys Assistant ( open-source home automation platform https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys )

I've been working on this for a few months now and I think I have it to a point where I am ready to share. This is definitely a very niche solution but I am creating a new skill handler for Grocy for the Open Source Voice Assistant Rhasspy (https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy). My handler is here: https://github.com/MCHellspawn/hermes-app-grocy. It is not complete yet but getting there. With is skill and a working Rhasspy 2.5 setup you can do a lot of tasks in Grocy with your voice. So far you can create and delete shopping lists, create products and add and remove them from shopping lists, list chores, mark them complete or skipped, and more.

It'll run on a cheap Ubuntu box if you can't get a Pi.

And lots of people seem to like Rhasspy too:

Here is one example https://community.rhasspy.org/

I tried Amazon's Alexa, the top end model with a display. Often it would taunt you about new/interesting things on the screen, but I could never get them to work. I'd had to memorize things to get even the basics working. Ended up unplugging it.

However Google's Assistant in comparison worked great, no memorization, and very useful. Sure time, weather, set timers, and alarms worked great with a very flexible set of natural language queries. Even more complex things like what will be the temperature tomorrow at 10pm, simple calculations and unit conversions. But also things like IMDB like queries about directors, actors, which movies someone was in, etc generally worked well. It seemed to really understand things, not just "A web search returned ...". Even more complex things like the wheelbase of a 2004 WRX would return an answer, not a search result.

With all that said I'm looking for a non-cloud/on site solution, even if it requires more work, most recently noticed https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy

I just found this one: https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy
