Hi everyone!
It’s Monday, time for a new Gladys release
And there’s a lot of new stuff in Gladys Assistant 4.28!
Expiration of sensor states
From now on, “old” sensor states will no longer be displayed on the dashboard, and will be replaced by an indication that the state is out of date:
Handy for finding sensors that no longer send values!
The default delay is 48 hours and can be modified in “Settings” => “System” :
Executing a scene from the dashboard
New widget on the dashboard added by @Lokkye, it’s now possible to control scenes from the dashboard :
Hyper practical, thanks @Lokkye for this development
New Zigbee devices
2 new Zigbee devices are now managed by Gladys thanks to @_Will_71’s work:
- The Xiaomi DJT11LM vibration/shock sensor
- The HEIMAN HM1RC-2-E remote control with management of the “Emergency”, “Disarm alarm”, “Arm day zones”, “Arm alarm” buttons.
eWelink integration is now deprecated
Unfortunately, the eWelink integration no longer works due to a change on the eWelink API side.
I’m looking for someone who would like to help by re-coding the current service with the new API !

How to upgrade
