Turn Inside Handle, Get Events!​

Turn inside handle, receive events!​

We just turned the handle on the lock and witness a series of events be dispatched to the webhook endpoint.

These events reflect the current and active state of all traits representing that device.

This real-time release of events will occur for any change in device state, including changes to state related to device-based actuations such as lock handle turns, deadbolt thumb turns, battery depletion notifications, tamper events or other local activities.

The number of events dispatched is dependent on the device capabilities and features. For instance, devices with more capabilities will have more traits for which to reflect state, and as a result a larger number of events will be dispatched to the webhook – one for each trait. A typical device will be represented by between roughly 10-20 traits.

In the next section we’ll look at these events to understand their contents and what they convey about changing lock state.
