Can you give an example what the folder name would look like? And why would you want to be able to set it per flow card? ---

For example just the date (yyyymmdd) would be really nice. Maybe it’s even possible to make some kind of settings where it can be more freely configurable like: %y%m%d (for yyyymmdd) or %backupperiod (for last …) or even some free text for maximum freedom. But in my case just the date would be great. ---

Hi, since the last version on August 27 I see no new exports were written to my NAS. In the logs there is this error: TypeError: Cannot read property ‘replace’ of undefined at Promise (/app.js:532:44) at at process.\_tickCallback (internal/process/next\_tick.js:89.7) Too bad it’s not working anymore, because I love this app 😃 ---

Hi @PieterM, I have just updated the app to version 2.5.0. I hope this solves the issue for you. @Patrick1610, @ArnoP: Version 2.5.0 adds the option to save every export to a seperate folder. You can get it now on [github](https://github.com/gruijter/com.gruijter.insights2csv/tree/master), or wait for Athom to approve it in the appstore . ---

Version 2.5.0 was just released in the appstore. It has some bugfixes, and it allows you to do each export in a seperate folder. The folder is named after the date/time when the export started, so you can easily manage / remove old archives. Let me know if you like it 😉 ---

I have setup the app and want to use sftp to export the logs. Now if I use the command line either ssh or sftp the address and folders all work fine. Now if I fill these in the settings en test them in the app I get an error. Looking at the logs, it states it is connected to myip:22 but this message is followed by a general Timeout (control socket). Anyone has any ideas what is going on? edit: I also checked the logs on the server. It also confirms connections has been made, only that it is being dropped (no official disconnect) edit 12-10: I have configured a Webdav server on the same machine and that one is working just fine. Still no idea what happened with the sFTP. But for me I am happy to be able to use the app now. ---

Hi, I managed to download the information on my Synology but I am disapointed to have a zip file for every app and inside each zip a .csv for each measure. Would it be possible to have one big CSV ? ---

Would it be possbile to have only the CSV files without being into a zip file ? Named with the date and year of extraction. Thanks ---

Mmh. I have too look into that. The zipping is important because during archiving, the data is first stored on Homey itself (and Homey has limited memory/storage), and also because exporting non-compressed data takes a very long time over WiFi. Why would you want it unzipped? ---

I want to create a Qlik Dashboard based on this data. Unfortunately Qlik can’t read ‘inside’ a zip file. If we do a weekly extract (max) it doesn"t take so much space. ---

@Gruijter Great app! It would be nice to make it possible to select one (or a few) Logics so it will not make an export from all of them. Do you think that is possible? ---

Hi Wilco, Thx 4 the compliment 😘 You can add your request as an issue on GitHub so I don’t forget to take a look at it on the next maintenance work I do. But to be honest I think it is too much work to implement it in a user-friendly way. ---

Thank you for this app! I have a problem exporting data though. Connection (WebDAV) works fine (it creates a `insights2csv.txt` file). However, when I run the flow there are no files created. 😢 I’ve tried having the flow use both `Export all insights` as well as `Export insights of:` for various brands. I do have output in Homey’s Insights, so there is data to export. The log says only: > Exporting all insights last24Hours Unless, of course, I’m only exporting specific brands. Then there are no log messages. I have waited sufficiently long time for the export and upload to complete (\>30 min), but still no output. I cannot try any other protocol, because of server limitations. Any ideas? ---

Restarting Homey fixed the issue, now I get all the data and the log looks good. Thanks! Feature request: Have failure to upload to server be a trigger for a flow. That way I can get a notification when the server is down and I can troubleshoot the issue immediately. ---

Hi ! I am not able to confige this app to work. When i use SMB connect it says “Error: STATUS\_LOGON\_FAILURE (0xC000006D) : The attempted logon is invalid. This is either due to a bad username or authentication information.” But connection to this share on my Samba Server on Ubuntu 18.04 from another system with the sam credentials works fine. ---

Hey! I had some troubles last year with fibaro export. I wrote about it but didn’t really help you very much with the bug. I just wanted you to know that it works perfectly now. Not sure when it started to work, but it does. Great work.
