# Updating the Event Engine in TX Ultimate Easy
## Overview of the Event System
The TX Ultimate Easy firmware introduces a powerful and flexible event system designed to handle various types of interactions, such as touch gestures and device states. This system leverages Home Assistant's native event structure, ensuring seamless integration and enabling users to create advanced automations.
### Event Structure
All events emitted by the device are categorized under the `esphome.tx_ultimate_easy` event type in Home Assistant. The `data` field within the event payload provides details about the specific interaction. Below is a detailed description of the keys used:
#### Example Event Payload
```yaml
event:
event_type: esphome.tx_ultimate_easy
data:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: touch
type: button
action: click
button_id: 2
count: 1
position: 3
```
### Key Definitions
#### `device_id`
- **Description**: A unique identifier for the device emitting the event.
- **Example**: `device_id: "abc123"`
#### `device_name`
- **Description**: A Home Assistant-compatible version of the hostname, with blanks and invalid characters replaced by `_`.
- **Example**: `device_name: "living_room_panel"`
#### `firmware`
- **Description**: The firmware version of the device, formatted as `YYYY.M.S`.
- **Example**: `firmware: "2024.12.1"`
#### `domain`
- **Description**: The high-level category of the event.
- **Examples**:
- `boot`
- `touch`
#### `type`
- **Description**: Specifies the subcategory within the `domain`.
- **Examples**:
- For `domain: boot`: `start`, `done`
- For `domain: touch`: `button`, `swipe`, `multi_touch`
#### `action`
- **Description**: Indicates the specific action or interaction.
- **Examples**:
- For `type: button`: `click`, `double-click`, `long-press`, `multiple-click`
- For `type: swipe`: `left`, `right`, `up`, `down`
#### `button_id`
- **Description**: Identifies the button involved in the event (specific to `type: button`).
- **Example**: `button_id: 2`
#### `count`
- **Description**: Indicates the number of clicks or interactions (used with `action: multiple-click`).
- **Example**: `count: 3`
#### `swipe-direction`
- **Description**: Specifies the direction of a swipe (used with `type: swipe`).
- **Examples**: `left`, `right`, `up`, `down`
#### `position`
- **Description**: An integer from 1 to 10 indicating the touch position (available on all touch events).
- **Example**: `position: 3`
### Supported Event Types
#### Boot Events
```yaml
event:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: boot
type: start
action: null
```
```yaml
event:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: boot
type: done
action: null
```
#### Touch Events
##### Button Event
```yaml
event:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: touch
type: button
action: click
button_id: 1
count: 1
position: 3
```
```yaml
event:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: touch
type: button
action: multiple-click
button_id: 1
count: 5
position: 3
```
##### Swipe Event
```yaml
event:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: touch
type: swipe
action: left
swipe-direction: left
position: 3
```
```yaml
event:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: touch
type: swipe
action: up
swipe-direction: up
position: 3
```
##### Multi-Touch Event
```yaml
event:
device_id: "abc123"
device_name: "living_room_panel"
firmware: "2024.12.1"
domain: touch
type: multi_touch
action: release
position: 3
```
### Integration in Automations
#### Listening to Events
To utilize these events in Home Assistant, follow these steps:
1. Open the **Developer Tools** in Home Assistant.
2. Navigate to the **Events** tab.
3. Enter `esphome.tx_ultimate_easy` in the "Event to subscribe to" field.
4. Click "Start listening."
5. Trigger interactions on your TX Ultimate Easy device to see the events in real-time.
#### Example Automation YAML
##### Automation for a Single Click
```yaml
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: esphome.tx_ultimate_easy
event_data:
domain: touch
type: button
action: click
button_id: 1
position: 3
action:
- service: light.toggle
target:
entity_id: light.living_room
```
##### Automation for a Swipe Gesture
```yaml
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: esphome.tx_ultimate_easy
event_data:
domain: touch
type: swipe
action: left
swipe-direction: left
position: 3
action:
- service: script.activate_scene
target:
entity_id: scene.relax_mode
```
This event engine provides a robust and extensible framework for handling device interactions, allowing users to implement highly customized automations with ease.
