Migration of peripheral events

As part of our transition to the new Peripherals framework, all existing hardware configurations will automatically be migrated from the old implementation. This ensures a seamless experience for users without the need for manual reconfiguration.

What's changing

Peripherals are now treated as a type of thing within YourSixOS. This enhancement provides improved structure, flexibility, and scalability. With this change, peripherals now have their own dedicated event topic, separating them from device-level events for greater clarity and control.

Deprecation notice

The old device-level input peripheral event has been deprecated. In its place, a new event type — input_activated — has been introduced on peripheral-level.

This change allows for more granular event handling and improved integration with other platform features.

WARNING

The old device-level input peripheral event will be removed June 1st, 2026.

Action required

All hardware configurations will be migrated automatically; no manual setup is required. However, if you currently have notification rules that use the old event type, you’ll need to update those rules to reference the new peripheral-level Input Activated event.

INFO

The new events are only available as Notification V2 rules.
