Sensors on/off descriptions are misleading (triggered/not triggered) #109

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

From @eliciogiuseppe (#103):

STATO SENSORI acceso/spento: Inizialmente avevo inteso che i sensori fossero accessi/spenti quando inclusi o esclusi. in realtà, In caso di sensori volumetrici sono sempre spenti. Si accendono solo quando scattano. Quindi lo stato potrebbe portare a fraintendimenti tra acceso/spento e inclusi/esclusi

Translation (via ChatGPT):

Initially, I had understood that the sensors were on/off when included or excluded. In reality, in the case of volumetric sensors, they are always off. They only turn on when triggered. Therefore, the status might lead to confusion between on/off and included/excluded.

Describe the solution you'd like

Probably we should call the state differently, or anyway make it clear. On/off means that it works or not, and so an alarm user you think the sensor is enabled/disabled (included/excluded). This is misleading and we should change the wording.

Describe alternatives you've considered
