> The [device groups app](https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.devicegroups/tree/master/drivers/devicegroup/pair) does that by emitting data in custom events from the view to the driver. For instance, the [“class” template emits an addClass event](https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.devicegroups/blob/3e58128209e1036c5509b5ff6de5296e4addce33/drivers/devicegroup/pair/class.html#L12) that contains the device class that the new device group should get. The driver [listens to that event](https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.devicegroups/blob/3e58128209e1036c5509b5ff6de5296e4addce33/drivers/devicegroup/driver.js#L19) and stores it in the pairingDevice object which will eventually contain all data for the new device. The next template, “capabilities”, [emits the startedCapabilities event](https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.devicegroups/blob/3e58128209e1036c5509b5ff6de5296e4addce33/drivers/devicegroup/pair/capabilities.html#L6), and upon reception, the [driver returns the pairingDevice object](https://github.com/swttt/com.swttt.devicegroups/blob/3e58128209e1036c5509b5ff6de5296e4addce33/drivers/devicegroup/driver.js#L24) that…
