It has 128 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 5, 2026. Event sensor is a Home Assistant integration that creates sensors tracking and storing specific events. It was written to give entities to ZigBee switches that only produce events when pressed, and it can follow any other event as well. Each sensor listens for a named event, can filter on key and value pairs inside the event data, and takes its state from a chosen event field. Nested event data can be reached with dot notation, both in filters and for the state. A custom state mapping can turn raw values into readable states, and presets exist for Friends of Hue remotes through Hue or deCONZ. Setup runs through a wizard in the UI, and existing sensors can be edited later without a restart. Legacy YAML configuration is still read but logs a deprecation warning.
