TX Ultimate Easy

	TX Ultimate Easy provides custom ESPHome firmware for Sonoff TX Ultimate devices. Our project focuses on user-friendly configuration through the Home Assistant UI, eliminating the need for manual YAML editing. Whether you're new to home automation or an experienced user, TX Ultimate Easy makes it simple to manage your device.

Integration with Home Assistant

TX Ultimate Easy exposes your device's components (sensors, touch panel, relays, etc.) to Home Assistant, allowing you to:

• Monitor sensor states and values
• Control device components through the Home Assistant UI
• Use device triggers and states in your Home Assistant automations and scripts
• Configure device behavior through Home Assistant's service calls

All automation capabilities are handled through Home Assistant's native automation system - this project focuses on providing reliable device integration rather than implementing its own automation tools.

Event-Based Automation

TX Ultimate Easy uses Home Assistant's native Events system for reliable automation triggers. While sensors show the current state (e.g., button pressed/not pressed), events capture-specific actions like clicks, swipes, and long presses.

To view available events:

1. Go to Developer Tools in Home Assistant
2. Select the "Events" tab
3. Enter esphome.tx_ultimate_easy in the "Event to subscribe to" field
4. Click "Start listening"
5. Interact with your device to see events in real-time

Example event trigger in automation (YAML):

triggers:
  - platform: event
    event_type: esphome.tx_ultimate_easy
    event_data:
      device_name: your_device_name
      component: bs_button_1
      event: click
actions:
  - action: light.toggle
    target:
      entity_id: light.living_room

# Additional common event types:
# event: double_click
# event: long_press
# event: swipe_left
# event: swipe_right

You can also create event-based automations through the Home Assistant UI by selecting "Event" as the trigger type and filtering by your device.
