How to use?

Unity UI elements have Unity Events to which you can subscribe the UnityUILogicController to. The UnityUILogicController has a method called SendSignal that accepts either the Name (string) or the ID (int) of an input. Every time that Unity Event is fired a signal is sent to the controller through the UnityUILogicController.
