Scheduled Jobs for Dome Leak Sensor

Hi,
Could someone, please, comment on this: I have a few Dome Leak sensors DMWS1 installed around the house. All of them but one on the device information page have this table:

Scheduled Jobs

Handler Next Run Time Prev Run Time Status Schedule
logsOff 2022-03-30 22:58:10 MDT PENDING

Only one sensor says it doesn't have any scheduled jobs.
What is this about and why are the identical devices contain different info?

Thank you.

If you look now, this will probably be gone on the device you posted above, given that it's just a few minutes past that time. :smiley: This is something you'll see on most stock drivers (and something similar on well-written community drivers) for 30 minutes after installation, where debug logging is enabled by default. This is the job that turns that option off automatically. Your other devices no longer have this option either because that time has passed or you manually disabled this logging before then. Its presence or absence is not a concern beyond this--it's just used internally by the driver (as is everything you'd find there for a driver--things apps might schedule, even if they act on devices, are schedules within that app, not the device).

Note that this does not affect descriptionText/info logging, which is also enabled by default and remains enabled indefinitely. This generally logs a description of events and can be helpful for troubleshooting automations. Debug logging is generally only useful for troubleshooting device behavior or driver development, which is probably where the conventions for disabling came from.

Ok. Sounds a little confusing to me as Iā€™m not well-versed on this topic but what I was able to comprehend it was from the debug logging function being turned on which has no effect on the performance of the device.
