Castle Windsor: How do I wire up events in my configuration?

Question

I have something like this:

public interface IDeviceMonitor {
    int DeviceId { get; }
    event DeviceUpdatedHandler NewValueRecieved;
    void Start();
    void Stop();
}
public class DeviceInactivityDetector {
    ...
    public virtual void DeviceUpdated(IDeviceMonitor device, DeviceUpdatedArgs args) {
        ....
    }
}

currently, in my application startup file I do

var dm = IoC.Container.Resolve<IDeviceMonitor>();
var did = IoC.Container.Resolve<DeviceInactivityDetector>();
dm.NewValueRecieved += new DeviceUpdatedHandler(did.DeviceUpdated);

I imagine it is possible to do this wiring with my castle configuration file via xml. But how?

With the EventWiring Facility you can use the configuration to connect component's methods (subscribers) to component's events (publishers).

http://www.castleproject.org/container/facilities/v1rc3/eventwiring/index.html

<configuration>
<facilities>
    <facility 
        id="event.wiring"
        type="Castle.Facilities.EventWiring.EventWiringFacility, Castle.MicroKernel" />
</facilities>

<components>
    <component 
        id="DeviceInactivityDetector" 
        type=" . . ." />

    <component 
        id="IDeviceMonitor" 
        type=". . ." >
        <subscribers>
            <subscriber id="DeviceInactivityDetector" event="NewValueRecieved" handler="DeviceUpdated"/>
        </subscribers>
    </component>
</components>
