Hi @Gruijter @Arie_J_Godschalk , I was just checking how my exports are running and found out there were not running since I have HP23 😉 Using SMB and when I test settings, I get Archive Insights crashed and this is in the logs… not sure if it’s something easy to be fixed. ![obrazek](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/9/59a4238e092d8337f955235ac43853bf73a85d1a.png) ---

Some people just want a simple excel compatible output, and that is what Archive Insights is for. I’m happy you solved it for your case, but I hope Arie has time to dig into it. I have a lot going on at the moment, so I have to prioritize my Homey activities 😉 ---

> [@Gruijter](#): > > but I hope Arie has time to dig into Yep, thats why, 30d ago, I have submitted first report on this issue, so in case someone would like to have alternative, I’m sharing - could be solution for many while actually I’m astonished how much, better and faster it is to work with visualisation compared to Insights. For sure there are some drawbacks but this was rather to let others knows on the options - nothing more, nothing less but thanks for your comments 😀 ---

Hello, does SMB connection work against an internet file share, like Azure Storage with SMB file share? In Windows, you would connect with “\xxxxxhomeyinsights.file.core.windows.net\homeyinsights”. How shall I write the connection string in archiveinsights app? Best, Torsten ---

I am pretty new in using my Homey Pro 2023 and learning… Archived Insight this is a great app! I managed to use it to export data to my NAS. I created some Advanced Flows that to receive data from some ESP32 and ESP8266 based sensors over MQTT. So far, so good. The defined variables are showing up in graphs under insights. Among the exported data by Archive Insight is a file logic\_20240714T001504Z\_yesterday.zip. I expected that my self-defined variables would be reported in there. But the zip file is empty. What do I have to do to make that self defined variables appear in exported Insights? ---

Are the variables from/with Homey, or Better logic and are they numeric? Have the variable names strange characters (space, comma, point, …)? ---

Hi M\_a\_r\_c\_o, I used the Variables button while creating an Advanced Flow. They are all numeric. I assign values to them using the Convert Text to Number Tag card (Logic) and then assign a value with a Logic card (set variable name to #Result, of do a calculation with the Logic card calculate variable name as text.) Some of the names contain an underscore, but all of them can be selected to show a graph! From your answer I understand that in principle variables should appear in exported Insights. Is that correct? (I do not quite understand “from/with Homey” ans “Better logic”) UPDATE: the first archiving action acted on yesterday’s insights. Today I did an hourly backup. This resulted in a number of files with data! I will await the results of the next “yesterday” backup.
