Hi @RonnyW! I was playing with an ESPHome Macropad that sends homeassistant.events to Home Assistant.

I can use those events to create automations, like this:

```auto
alias: Macropad Button 1 Single Press
triggers:
  - event_type: esphome.macropad_button_single
    event_data:
      button: "1"
    trigger: event
actions:
  - action: light.toggle
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: light.hue_lightstrip_plus
mode: single

```

I’ve been trying to use those same triggers in Homey, but I can’t seem to find a way to do that with the current Flow cards. Do you think it would be possible to add a Flow card that listens for the `event_type` and its `event_data`?

This card isn’t capable, Bas?

I tried that, but I don’t know what to fill in at the “Entity” field. In my case there’s no entity.

EDIT: Didn’t realise that the “Entity” field is optional. I kept it empty and now it works exactly as expected. 😁

And you use the data field “button” as filter for the case you have events for several buttons. Makes it easier to use triggers without a lot of logic cards 😄

got a question, someone might be able to help with, I set up HA just to host tuya devices and use them from homey, I am finding that nearly every day HA has updates, and until I see it and update it, the devices in homey are offline

I don’t unterstand the question, sorry.

Which updates? Tuya itself or HA core?

What is offline? Tuya inside HA, HA devices in HA or HA entities in Homey?

</div>

If HA reboots after these updates, the linked HA Tuya devices @ Homey will be unavailable during the reboot.  
Or do you mean something else?

That’s odd, I also use the Tuya HA integration, and added it’s 20 devices per Ronny’s app to Homey. It’s seldom for these to be unavailable.

In fact, I’ve never encountered an issue with pending HA updates.

For the record, can you please confirm you use this integration:

> **[Tuya](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya/)**
>
> Instructions on how to set up the Tuya hub within Home Assistant.

and this Homey Home Assistant app?

> **[Home Assistant Community | Homey](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/io.home-assistant.community/Home-Assistant-Community/)**
>
> Connect to Home Assistant

(because an [Athom version](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/io.home-assistant/Home-Assistant/) exists as well)

The Athom app uses HA devices and their entities. That means, you add a device and some of its entities. The power entity is perhaps managed in a special case because the Capability must be named measure\_power in Homey.

The comminity app offers several devices for HA domains (like lights, switch etc). The device uses all possibilities offered by this domain (all services).  
So if you add a HA device, you basically select one entity from this domain (switch.entityname). The HA device is only a kind of entity group.

But you can add all entities grouped in the HA device in devce settings:

 ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/6/7676c349116de37a67c2a137febebe1045b9bc8b.png)

Doing so, you will get all additional entities/data into your Homey device.

But: for inserting the capabilities, the app uses subcapabilities including the entity name to keep them unique. That won’t work for energy capabilities.

In device settings, there is an energy option.

 ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/e/ae4fc9bbc0e2ec08aa1216f834d6115f14774d1c.png)

Check the hints (question mark icons).

If the power entity fits the standard naming, it will be added if “add power entity” is activated.  
It the entity name does not fit, you can insert it into the field.

Another possibility it to start the repair view and add the power entity.

 ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/c/ec3ebed7b9893a449d3c8c47029815a8f4348998.png)

Select your power entity and use “measure\_power” as capability.

Yeah, it’s quite complex, but it offers also a lot of flexibility 🙂

Hi.  
I have several HA camera devices added as Camera devices to Homey.  
They all have added a lot of entities to the Homey devices including the following 2:

This one set the Homey tile active or inacive according to entity state:  
Name: Tilkoblet  
Entity: binary\_sensor.aarlo\_connected\_veranda  
Capability: onoff\_state

This one turns the charger adapter for the camera on or off:  
Name: Strømadapter  
Entity: switch.kamera\_veranda\_lader\_socket\_1  
Capability: onoff\_button.switch.kamera\_veranda\_lader\_socket\_1

This config has been working without issues for many months.

I guess something broke in v1.13.0.  
When I press the button for turning on/off the charging adapter, I get an error message telling me that my version of Homey does not support live streaming.  
I Have a Homey Pro early 2019, so this is probably correct.  
However, I’m not trying to do live streaming and I’m no longer able to turn the charging adapter on or off from Homey.

Can you please have a look at this?

Rgds.

Can you please check your Homey FW?  
Is it 12.7 or higher?
