Self-hosting smart home users deploy Gladys Assistant 5 on their own server and connect lights, sensors and other devices; the system takes device states and user-defined rules, runs automations locally, and returns a locally executed control result without hand-writing YAML. Which devices and automation actions are supported still needs verification.

Self-hosting smart home users deploy the system on their own server, connect lights and sensors, set rules and let it run scene automations.
Self-hosted platforms such as Home Assistant, or vendor apps and cloud scenes.
Existing smart home platforms often depend on cloud accounts and vendor apps, raising privacy concerns, and advanced automations frequently require hand-written YAML that ordinary users struggle to maintain.
Trend: smart home setup is moving from hand-written config files toward natural-language and visual rules, with private self-hosting becoming an explicit demand for some users. Entry: start from a concrete scenario such as home security, energy management or elderly care, selling data-stays-home deployment rather than a generic control panel.
Inference: compared with hand-writing YAML, it replaces config files with a no-config interface, reducing the burden of maintaining configuration, so privacy-minded self-hosters who do not code may choose it; however public material gives no device compatibility list or automation detail.
An English validation note will follow from the public evidence.
