+# State Machine Event Processing
+
+## Why Events May Have No Effect
+
+**Sending an event to a state machine can have no effect even when it appears it should work.**
+
+When a state transitions to a new state, **all events from the previous state are carried forward**. If a conflicting event exists in the state, it may immediately reverse the transition.
+
+## Example: Sound Player Won't Fade In
+
+A sound player receives `sleepiness.Event.Awake` to fade in at 7:00 AM:
+
+```python
+# Off state transitions to Fade In
+class Sleepiness(Callable):
+    def run(self, event, state):
+        if event == home.event.sleepiness.Event.Awake:
+            if home.event.elapsed.Event.On not in state:
+                state = self.get_new_state(state, "fade_in")  # ← Transition
+        return state
+```
+
+But Fade In immediately reverts to Off:
+
+```python
+# Fade In processes presence.Event.Off (from previous state)
+class Presence(Callable):
+    def run(self, event, state):
+        if event == home.event.presence.Event.Off:
+            state = self.get_new_state(state, "off")  # ← Reverts!
+        return state
+```
+
+**Processing sequence:**
+1. Off state receives `sleepiness.Event.Awake`
+2. Transition to Fade In (new state inherits **all events from Off**, including `presence.Event.Off`)
+3. Fade In state processes `presence.Event.Off`
+4. Fade In immediately transitions back to Off
+5. **Net result: Sound player stays Off**
+
+## Event Processing Order is Unpredictable
+
+**You cannot send multiple events at the same time when processing order matters.**
+
+When multiple events are sent simultaneously (in the same update cycle), you cannot control which one is processed first. If the order matters for correct behavior, use state-based triggers instead.
+
+### Example: Resetting elapsed.Off on Fade In
+
+When a sound player transitions to Fade In, we need to reset `elapsed.Off` so the system can listen for fade completion.
+
+**Wrong approach - sending events together:**
+
+```yaml
+# Trigger sends both events at the same time
+- !protocol.Trigger
+  name: "wakeup time"
+  notify events:
+    - !home.event.sleepiness.Event.Awake  # Triggers Fade In transition
+    - !home.event.elapsed.Event.Off       # Should reset elapsed
+```
+
+**Problem:** We don't know which event is processed first. If `elapsed.Off` is processed before the state transition, it gets carried to the Fade In state but we lose the guarantee it was set *after* entering Fade In.
+
+**Correct approach - state-based trigger:**
+
+```yaml
+# Trigger fires when entering Fade In state
+- !state.entering.Trigger
+  name: "fade in reset elapsed"
+  notify events:
+    - !home.event.elapsed.Event.Off
+  when appliance state became: "Fade In"
+```
+
+This guarantees `elapsed.Off` is sent **after** the state transition completes.
+
+## Guidelines
+
+1. **Be selective about events** - Not every appliance needs every event
+2. **Check state DEFAULTS** - Each state has default events that are always present
+3. **Watch for conflicts** - One event enables a state, another disables it
+4. **Use state-based triggers when order matters** - Don't send multiple events simultaneously if processing order is critical
+5. **Test realistically** - Include all relevant events when testing transitions
+
+## Debugging Checklist
+
+When a transition doesn't work as expected:
+- What events are already in the current state?
+- What events will the new state process?
+- Could any events conflict with the desired transition?
+- Are multiple events being sent simultaneously when order matters?
