Hi.  
I have a lot of sensors, and they show up fine in Insights.  
I hade one that I moved, and did not want the historical data from the old position to the new, so I looked for a way to clear the history for that one.  
I pressed the Trash up in the right corner, assuming I was just clearing the log, but it deleted the sensor from Insight completly, so I cannot see it there any more.  
The sensor is still there and works fine within Homey, and give me temperatures there, and works in my flows, but I cannot se it in Insights.  
Is there a way to get it back?  
/Stefan

There’s a similar question in the Dutch category here: [Apparaat verwijderd uit Insights. Hoe krijg ik die terug?](https://community.homey.app/t/apparaat-verwijderd-uit-insights-hoe-krijg-ik-die-terug/11235)

Sadly, no answer yet ☹

Yes, my thoughts were also that when it has reported for a while it will come back, but it have not yet.  
Deleted the log during wednesday, and today its friday, and it is not back.  
I could of course delete the sensor in Homey, and add it back in again, and see if it shows up in Insights then, but I have it in a couple of flows, and if I delete the sensor, I have to go in every flow that is is in, and re-add it there I assume.  
So if you come up to any idea to get a deleted log into Insight again, I will try :-).  
If I dont hear anything within a while, I will maybe try and delete it in Homey :-).

The sensor’s log will be back when a new value has been reported.

In that case i deleted the wrong log haha. Its the power meter log from a plug which uses like 0,5 watt a day.

Hmm…  
My sensor, that is a tempature sensor, reports all the time. I can see it in the Homey app. I also have a flow that sets that temp as a variable, so I can se that it is reporting and changing.  
But the sensor do not show up in Insights again.  
Am I doing something wrong?

Try restarting Homey, or restart the device’s app. That should re-create the Insights log.

Wyrd tho that an update of Homey did not bring this log back while a restart of the Fibaro app did. Gonna have to check on a normal reboot.

Edit: Reboot Homey also confirmed bringing back the deleted log.
