Ok I think I understand your request, even though there remain a few points that bother me in your logic 😉

In the end we get a bit lost because in this thread you express 2 distinct requests.

Your request No.1 :

- Create a virtual device that groups the features of several physical devices, so that there is only one left to test within your scene. (maybe this ties into the notion of a «&nbsp;super device&nbsp;» I had already mentioned here \> [Créer un super device virtuel](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/creer-un-super-device-virtuel/8056) (which was a brain fail for me ^^)

Request No.2 :

- Change the way a scene works \> the famous toggle ONE \<\<\>\> ALL which cannot make sense insofar as, even if I understand your logic, Gladys must process information one after the other to move forward logically. In other words, a sensor’s state cannot be a trigger. Only the **change of state** of it can be a triggering event.  
So your logic which is:

> for the scene to execute, meaning for the alarm (total in this case) to activate, it requires «&nbsp;user absent&nbsp;» AND «&nbsp;all total-alarm sensors OK&nbsp;»

We can turn it around any which way, it cannot take this form in Gladys (nor elsewhere I think).
