Angular Datepicker Material: Change event does not fire when a date is selected

Question

I am using Angular and Angular Material Datepicker. Everything works fine for the most part, however I added an event (change)that only works when the user manually enters a date. It does not start when the user clicks on a date from the datepicker popup. To be clear, the value for datereally changes when the user clicks on a date, this is just an event (change)and, ultimately, my function updateCalcs(), which for some reason does not start. How can I trigger an event when a user clicks on a date from a datepicker?

<md-input-container>
    <input mdInput [mdDatepicker]="datePicker" placeholder="Choose Date" name="date" [(ngModel)]="date" (change)="updateCalcs()" required>
    <button mdSuffix [mdDatepickerToggle]="datePicker"></button>
</md-input-container>
<md-datepicker #datePicker></md-datepicker>

Answer 1

selectedChanged md-datepicker.

<md-datepicker #datePicker (selectedChanged)="updateCalcs($event)"></md-datepicker>

$event , updateCalcs().

updateCalcs(event){
  console.log(event);
}

Answer 2

change ngModelChange

<input mdInput 
       [mdDatepicker]="datePicker" 
       placeholder="Choose Date" 
       name="date" [(ngModel)]="date" 
       (change)="updateCalcs()" required>

<input mdInput 
       [mdDatepicker]="datePicker" 
       placeholder="Choose Date" 
       name="date" [(ngModel)]="date" 
       (ngModelChange)="updateCalcs()" required>

TS

 private parseInputDate(v):Date{
      //this was a manual change in the input and needs to be parsed
      let a:Array<any> = v.split('.')
      a.forEach((v, i) => a[i] = parseInt(v) + (i == 1 ? -1 : 0))
      console.log(new Date(a[2], a[1], a[0]))
      return  new Date(a[2], a[1], a[0])
  }

  //(dateInput) wasn't always firing for me, ended up using (keyup)
  filterInputKeyupFrom(){
    this.lastFrom = this.parseInputDate(this.fromInput.nativeElement.value)
    if (this.lastFrom) {
      this.lastFrom.setSeconds(-1)
    }
    this.filterDates()
  }

  filterInputKeyupUpTo(){
    this.lastTo = this.parseInputDate(this.toInput.nativeElement.value)
    if (this.lastTo) {
      this.lastTo.setDate(this.lastTo.getDate()+1)
    }
    this.filterDates()
  }

  filterFrom(e:MatDatepickerInputEvent<Date>){
    console.log('filterFrom')
    //changing manually the input and then exit from it fires here
    if(e.value){
      //need to clone the date or changes are applied on the Picker
      this.lastFrom = new Date(e.value)
      if (this.lastFrom) {
        this.lastFrom.setSeconds(-1)
      }
      this.filterDates()
    }
  }

  filterUpTo(e:MatDatepickerInputEvent<Date>){
    console.log('filterUpTo')
    if(e.value){
      this.lastTo = new Date(e.value)
      if (this.lastTo) {
        this.lastTo.setDate(this.lastTo.getDate()+1)
      }
      this.filterDates()
