As mentioned in some other threads, this observer is quite problematic as it sends at start not just a single 1 but a sequence of 1-0-1. So if you want to use 0 for triggering some action at stop, the same action will also be triggered at start!

To eliminate this problem, I've made the following abstraction that sends a unique bang at start and stop on two different outlets.

Here's how you can avoid the API altogether

So I could keep the interface of my abstraction and just change the implementation.

Nice alternative.

For the record, here is another solution with API.
