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

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?
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 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 » (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 ».
and secondly you can make another feature request for « having specific codes that launch a specific scene »
This is already a very good first draft (that I’ve been waiting for since 2021 )
I have an initial feedback regarding the conditions « if the alarm is in mode »
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 » ?
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
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:
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 » / « If the alarm is in partially armed mode », whether in series or in parallel, one of the two actions will necessarily stop. The condition will always be false
For me, « in parallel » 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…
