If you have ever tried to work with events in Home Assistant, you probably
|

noticed that it was not the easiest thing to do. You need to know the event name,
|

and then you need to know the data that is being sent with it. Before you know it,
|

To make this all easier, we are introducing a new entity type in this release: [The event entity](/integrations/event).
|
||||
|
||||
The event entity can capture these events in the physical world and makes them
|
||||
available in Home Assistant as an entity.
|
||||
|
||||
The event entity can be used like any other entity in Home Assistant: They will
|
||||
show up in the UI, can be used directly in the automations editor and provides
|
||||
historical information in the logbook.

The beauty of the event entity is that they can be used like any other entity
