Hello, Would it be possible to expand on the SecuritySystem by adding a Exit Delay in Progress status. This way HomeKit knows that the alarm has been activated and is currently counting down to arming.

I'm not aware of any way to do this in HomeKit. I'll leave this comment open a few days to see if anybody else has any ideas.

Also, would like status for "NOT READY" when the alarm is not ready to be armed.

In summary, add statuses: "EXIT DELAY IN PROGRESS" and "NOT READY TO ARM" It would also be cool to be able to list the sensors that are "open"

That would be useful, but I can't do it. HomeKit allows only the valid values listed below and I can't add to them. I implemented to Release 2 of the HomeKit Accessory Protocol -- this was last updated in 2019 - maybe they'll update the specification at some point to give some more flexibility, but it isn't there now.
