@quentins33 thanks for the organizational work — your breakdown from F01 → F10 was directly usable, I was able to start from there rather than starting from scratch.

I created **9 feature requests** , one per topic, so we can vote and move forward on each independently. Here is the correspondence with your needs:

| Your need | Request created | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| F01 Centralized status | [A6 · «&nbsp;Triggered&nbsp;» status and context](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-un-etat-declenchee-et-plus-de-contexte-dans-les-scenes/10842) + [A2 · Sensors](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-declarer-les-capteurs-surveilles-et-choisir-lesquels-sont-actifs-dans-chaque-mode/10837) | Split into two requests, see below |
| F02 Absence / Night / Presence modes | [A1 · Night mode](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-ajouter-un-mode-darmement-nuit/10836) | |
| F03 Sensor assignment to modes | [A2 · Monitored and active sensors per mode](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-declarer-les-capteurs-surveilles-et-choisir-lesquels-sont-actifs-dans-chaque-mode/10837) | The core of the project |
| F04 Entry and exit delays | [A3 · Entry delay](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-un-delai-dentree-avant-le-declenchement-reglable-capteur-par-capteur/10839) | The exit delay already exists |
| F05 Verification before arming and bypass | [A4 · Verification and disable](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-verifier-que-tout-est-ferme-avant-darmer-et-pouvoir-ignorer-un-capteur/10840) | |
| F06 Integration with scenes | [A6 · «&nbsp;Triggered&nbsp;» status and context](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-un-etat-declenchee-et-plus-de-contexte-dans-les-scenes/10842) | |
| F07 Alarm zones | [A5 · Zones](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-regrouper-les-capteurs-en-zones/10841) | |
| F08 User PIN codes | [A7 · One code per user](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-un-code-par-utilisateur-plutot-quun-code-unique-par-maison/10838) | |
| F09 Support for keyboards | [A8 · Physical keyboards](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-piloter-lalarme-depuis-un-clavier-physique/10843) | |
| F10 Centralized interface | [A9 · Dedicated Alarm page](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/alarme-une-page-dediee-pour-tout-configurer-au-meme-endroit/10844) | |

### Why F01 doesn’t have its own topic

Gladys already has a centralized alarm status: it lives on the house, it survives a reboot, and all commands go through it. What is missing is not the status itself, but two different things — a «&nbsp;triggered&nbsp;» status distinct from the panic button (A6), and an engine capable of changing it automatically when a sensor detects something (A2). A «&nbsp;centralized status&nbsp;» request would have been largely already satisfied, difficult to evaluate and vote.

### What already exists, for context

Useful to understand why some requests are smaller than others: Gladys already knows how to arm, partially arm, disarm with a code and go into panic; the delay before arming is adjustable; tablets lock when the house is armed; six scene triggers and two actions exist; and the alarm is exposed to HomeKit as a security system — without the night mode, precisely because Gladys doesn’t have it.

What doesn’t exist at all is the link between a sensor and the alarm. This explains why everything has to be rebuilt in the scenes, and why A2 is the heaviest request in the lot.

### Two forum requests already opened have been included

[Add a «&nbsp;Alarm: code entered&nbsp;» trigger](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/8437) and [be able to test multiple modes in a condition](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/8436) are integrated into A6: they go exactly in the same direction.

### Where we can start

Four requests do not depend on anything and can be developed in parallel: **A1** (night mode), **A2** (sensors), **A7** (codes) and part of **A6**. Everything else follows from these. A1 is by far the fastest to deliver and already unlocks the Night button in HomeKit.

### What would help now

Each topic ends with a list of **questions to decide** — these are the points that block the writing of a specification. Your answers, your real uses, and your disagreements on these questions are exactly what we need to move forward. **Keeping in mind that the system must remain flexible, but as simple as possible (to be able to develop it easily, maintain it, and so that a user does not need to read a manual).**

@quentins33 @StephaneB @spenceur if you see a need poorly translated or a breakdown that seems shaky to you, say so: it’s time to correct it, before development begins.
