<p>The core of Home Assistant is the event bus. The event bus allows any component to fire or listen for events. It is the core of everything. For example, any state change will be announced on the event bus as a <code>state_changed</code> event containing the previous and the new state of an entity.</p>
<p>Home Assistant contains a few built-in events that are used to coordinate between various components.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="event-homeassistant_start" href="#event-homeassistant_start"></a> Event <code>homeassistant_start</code></h3>
<p>Event <code>homeassistant_start</code> is fired when all components from the configuration have been intitialized. This is the event that will start the timer firing off <code>time_changed</code> events.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="event-homeassistant_stop" href="#event-homeassistant_stop"></a> Event <code>homeassistant_stop</code></h3>
<p>Event <code>homeassistant_stop</code> is fired when Home Assistant is shutting down. It should be used to close any open connection or release any resources.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="event-state_changed" href="#event-state_changed"></a> Event <code>state_changed</code></h3>
<p>Event <code>state_changed</code> is fired when a state changes. Both <code>old_state</code> and <code>new_state</code> are state objects. <a href="/topics/state_object/">Documentation about state objects.</a></p>
