The type of event, such as accessory addition or removal, or picker presentation or removal.

var eventType: ASAccessoryEventType { get }
```

Some event types may indicate that the event is a subclass of [`ASAccessoryEvent`](/documentation/AccessorySetupKit/ASAccessoryEvent) that provides additional properties.
