Simple Event Logger

[alejoc]

Hi everyone,

Is there any alternative to this ST Smartapp?: [RELEASE] Simple Event Logger - Community Created SmartApps - SmartThings Community. I know the developer @krlaframboise is also very active in Hubitat, so please try to port it to HE. I used it to log my home's events and would be a terrific tool in this new system.

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe this was ever ported. Be aware that if you have a very busy system with lots of logging taking place, other smartApps that do similar functions have been known to cause performance issues on HE hubs. Influxdb logger is an example of this.

I (and many others in the community) have successfully used the event websocket available in our hubs to extract logging and events to databases and/or spreadsheets. It does require another system like a raspberry pi or PC to run NodeRed.

See this thread for details.

Hubitat > NodeRed > MySQL > Grafana (LONG READ)

With that said, the topic here is getting your logs and events from your Hubitat hub and finally into Grafana. I chose Hubitat because I want everything running in my house locally (with some exceptions like Alexa/Google Home, etc). Part of tha…

Is this what you're looking for?

Activity Viewer

I've been looking for something similar to SmartThing's Activity Feed. It's helpful for debugging event order across multiple devices and just checking up on things too. I originally tried to use the events method which was always returning empty but found out eventsBetween is returning data and working for the most part! There are some attributes like displayText that aren't working, but enough for me to work with. I started with a simple table sorting in reverse chronological order. There's a…

I have it almost working. Some last things I have to do. But my time for today (GMT+2) is up. Tomorrow another day.

Ok, I'm going to have to park it for another time. I thought it would go pretty easy but it didn't it's actually one error after another... So I'm going to leave it for the moment since my personal priority lies somewhere else. Sorry.
