### Simple Log Dashboard Widget Certain Dashboard widgets and examples made me think of creating a Simple Log widget. Here’s a _ **how-to** _. (Thanks to **To\_Lou** for the initial [HTML code](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-simple-sys-log-use-this-app-for-simple-sys-logging/77533/321)) Example: ![1000000229](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/1/213e7d5cbb66e7f836ec97bda219385b5571f634.jpeg) → scrollable `^ v < >` → zoomable (pinch & spread fingers) → log data is selectable, to copy it 1. Install a web server app on Homey, like [Micro Web Server](https://community.homey.app/t/26565) which is used by me 2. Save the HTML code as `.html` file: > **Click for the HTML Code** > > ```auto > > > > > Homey1 log > > > > >

> > > > > > > > ``` 1. Edit the HTML file, to replace the example IP address with the IP address of your Homey ( @ around line 42) 2. Optionally you can adjust several colors, as explained in the code 3. Now check if all’s OK, by opening the HTML file in a browser. It takes a while for the logs to appear, be patient. 4. Create an FTP connection to Homey’s new web server ftp://192.168.x.x:5081/ 5. Upload the HTML file 6. Open the Homey Dashboard and add a “Web” widget 7. Enter this URL, and replace the example IP address with your Homey’s IP address, and html file name: `http://192.168.x.x:5080/the_name_of_your_html_file.html` Example settings: ![1000039977](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/1/815ad88b337617de651125f1292792397fe9d104.jpeg) _I would enable “auto refresh” every x seconds_ 10. Save, and check if the logs appear on your dashboard! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-simple-sys-log-use-this-app-for-simple-sys-logging/77533)._
