Gladys Assistant 4.30: Launch livestream tonight at 8:30 PM on YouTube!

Hi everyone!

In 15 minutes (8:30 PM), I’ll be on YouTube to present Gladys Assistant 4.30, a fairly important release for Gladys because it brings the ability to have a complete alarm system in Gladys :partying_face:

See you here:

The launch article:

See you soon!!

Hello, will we be able in the near future to use a special « Panic Â» code in case of an intrusion while the alarm is armed and a malicious person tries to force the owner to disarm it.

Hi @Zebulon :slight_smile:

Why not! If it’s a recurring request, I would develop it.

I had already brought it up, I think we can make a feature request! :+1:
This alarm feature is really a great starting point to expand on a bit later!

I think the code part is indeed a topic and a feature request that will be made.

  • Panic code
  • Code for an external person (cleaner…)

I’m taking the opportunity to post the launch article with all the information discussed during the live:

I’m not sure the distinction between full arming and partial arming is clear because you skimmed over the partial arming part!

Partial arming activates only some of the detectors and I suppose it’s in the detectors that we’ll be able to tag that it’s limited to partial arming? How will this partial arming actually work in the end? :thinking:

No, it’s up to you to do whatever you want in the scenes :slight_smile:

Gladys doesn’t decide anything at all for you!

Ah ok I see, this could be tedious to design a scene that activates only some of the sensors (I have 16 opening sensors) but hey we don’t do it every day so we’ll live with it :rofl: However, back to the code thing, it should actually be possible to associate a code with each user or even better have scenes determine actions based on the code entered — that would be way better. For example: the entered code is 123457 (it’s the cleaning lady) I disable only certain zones; the entered code is 666666 oops it’s a home jacking I send an alert SMS, etc

I think we can, at first, make a feature request « one code per user Â» (your cleaning lady could very well be a gladys user (even if she only interacts by disabling the alarm) with, why not, a trigger « alarm disarmed by user Â».

and secondly you can make another feature request for « having specific codes that launch a specific scene Â»

This is already a very good first draft (that I’ve been waiting for since 2021 :stuck_out_tongue: ) :slight_smile:

I have an initial feedback regarding the conditions « if the alarm is in mode Â»

Currently I have a scene: if my wife comes home, I disable the alarm.
Until now I only managed a total alarm.
Is it possible to improve this condition with a multiple select and thus choose the two modes with « or Â» ?

because as it stands, if I make these two conditions, they will both have to be true to proceed to the next action.

If you put the boxes side by side, it’s an ‹ or â€ş

Arf, I got fooled too! oops Thanks

No, it’s an AND!

If you want to do the case you describe @spenceur, currently you have to make 2 different scenes

Hello, @GBoulvin
Are you talking about the triggers maybe!

For the ‹ and â€ş, shouldn’t they be placed one after the other?
Doesn’t that correspond to the ‹ continue only if â€ş block?

Actually what’s a bit tedious is creating all the triggers… but that’s just because we have a lot of devices (I have 13 door/window sensors myself).
And once that’s done it’s been easy for some time now to copy a scene, which saves you from having to retype everything :wink:

I find @spenceur’s request relevant; maybe we could add to the block Si l'alarme est en mode the small +or button that already exists in the block continuer si et seulement si:

No!

Each action block is a set of actions that are executed in parallel. When all actions have completed successfully, we move on to the next action block.

Except that if an action returns a scene interruption, the scene stops.

So if you put 2 actions « If the alarm is in armed mode Â» / « If the alarm is in partially armed mode Â», whether in series or in parallel, one of the two actions will necessarily stop. The condition will always be false :slight_smile:

Why not! Feature request? :slight_smile:

So that’s useless:


For me, « in parallel Â» meant that if one was true, you kept going…
If a skier falls in a parallel slalom, the other keeps going, right?
I’ve only been wrong for three years… :innocent:

Done => Pouvoir ajouter plusieurs mode dans la condition si alarme en mode
