Why can't we acces the channel device in Verse

I want to use the channel device in verse to listen for events, but I don’t see the channel device in the interfaces for verse. How can I solve this problem the best and will the channel_device interface be inplemented later on?

Channels are being replaced by Events, I think the events directly tie devices together instead of listening to channels…something about subscribing to events…I don’t know verse though, someone will come along along and tell us about it.

They aren’t referring to using channels, they are referring to a device called the “Channel Device”. It will accept events from multiple devices and then send an event whenever it is triggered to whatever devices it is set to output to.

He’s talking about this device, not the old system of channels

But if someone knows how you can define you own events/triggers for your verse device, i’m also interested because that is what I want to achieve with this.

Well, a direct way to do what you’re asking is just using a trigger device instead of using a channel device- you can do essentially the same thing there. A more advanced option would be to use the method in this snippet:

Thank you, that is a good idea. But I’m still interesseted if the chanel device will be available. So I will not mark this issue resolved yet.
