I don't see why we need the transition event.  A transition is simply
a threshold rising (or falling) event much like any other - just
on a confidence interval.

So it would be possible to be interested in the confidence that are not
sitting rising above 20% on the basis that some other sensor needs enabling.

See below for resulting suggestions.

Other than that little point this looks good to me.
