Was troubleshooting a problem (my error) in a rule and looking through the logs is so annoying in large part because of duplicate entries for actions.
Examples:
Device and device drivers:
Basement Pantry and Cabinet Room Lights = Generic Z-Wave Plus Scene Switch
Garage Lights = GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Smart Switch
Pantry Shelf Lights = Generic Z-Wave Smart Switch
All are Z-Wave, all are Jasco devices, but the drivers are different. Still tons of duplicate logs all the time. This has been going on for years and I have seen others post about it, but no real resolution. Is this normal? Is it something I'm doing wrong?
Everything is working by the way, it only makes scouring through logs difficult and I have to believe its s resource/storage waste too.
You can look at the Events tab on the devices. It will tell you what produced each of those multiple events. I don't think they are duplicate logs, they look like distinct events sent by the driver, as there are milliseconds between them. A "duplicate" log entry would have the same timestamps.
I have been seeing logs do that for a long while. I can't figure out why either. Device events show only one operation not the several shown in the logs.
Well, I don't understand. I just used Alexa to turn on the "Basement Hallway Lights" because I could watch and confirm that they turned on. I have a rule that fires off in this case that turns that light off in 10 minutes. I get multiple entries:
Interestingly in the middle the multiple entries my workshop lights were turned off by the "Manage Workshop Lights" app which is a child of "Room Lighting." When it send the off command because of 10 minutes of inactivity, that device reported off 4 times. I'm beginning to think that most of you do not think this is normal, though I'm not alone in seeing this behavior.
