I was thinking along the same line. However, when I test this and disable Simple Log entries on the timeline, I don’t get an error in the log. It only records one item, which is the log part. The timeline part does not result in a logged error.
Check check! Same here. Now only Arie possibly might have a clue I think.
Thank you again for the feedback and suggestions Peter. Best regards, Jan

Does anyone know how to export data? When I select ‘Export to CSV’ or ‘Export to Excel’ from the menu, nothing happens. It doesn’t work in either the app or the web version.
It works with Firefox @ Android & Pro 2019.
The Excel export can take a long time, and it doesn’t show a progress indicator > so be patient when you think nothing happens.
csv:
xlsx:
JSON:
I’ve tried several browsers, but unfortunately it still doesn’t work, no matter how long I wait.
If anyone has a suggestion, I’d be happy to hear it.
I use a flow to export the log and store it on my NAS every day. Simple (Sys) Log provides a dedicated card to obtain the full log. I use the FTP Client app to store the log on my NAS via an FTP connection (in a specific folder, using a specific naming scheme).
If I try to manually download the log directly via the Simple (Sys) Log app, the app crashes (both via the mobile app on iOS/iPadOS and Chrome). I am on a Homey Pro 2023.
I assume my log is too large for such a direct export.
Yeah the file might be too big. How many days / how many records does it have?
When copying to a FTP server is not what you like: there are flowcards to limit the size of the log.
You could use this card to delete the oldest records:
You could try removing logs older than 20 days
Try export;
If no result, try removing logs older than 19 days
Try export;
And so on…
Ok, I really need to log some flows now that they get overly complicated.
Did a testrun with the 'add logging script’on a simple flow but;
This is sheer horror to me. I like my flows neat and readable. Ok, this one I could adjust.
But I fear whats it’s gonna do to this flow :
Is there a way to add the logging more neatly (without doing it ‘by hand’ ? )
[Edit] : Don’t bother, found the lines in the script to adjust positioning ![]()
Ok, created the (few) card in the flow myself…
But how do I view the log, downloading the log is not real handy..
If I understand well, the image/interface above is from the testversion ?
Currently running v 3.0.33
As a local html file:
As a dashboard widget:
Sorry, doesn’t cut it… ![]()
I’m usually not at home when i want/need to work on my Homey… Also, my Homey is not on my LAN, I have a separate network for it..
can I do something with the syslog server/client maybe ?
And I have a 2019 w/o Dashboard..

Oh well , I thought you didn’t want to use the app config log screen, because you obviously found it already:
But then I came to realise it’s just the app store pic
So the answer is:
Just go to the app config screen, the logs will appear.
I’d love to have that one…
I only found this :
Hidden in ‘Apps’- ‘Simple (sys)log’ - ‘Configure’
Obviously I’m doing something wrong here…
Yup, that’s where it is.
Try the advice, to install Better Logic as well? (… “Nieuwe interface” …)
Nah, no one- click solution to get acces ?
Right, never did install BL, you think I should ?
I get a smoother interface then ? With sort and filter ?
Hmm, trough 2 x NAT and the corporate Firewall (Forti). Not likely…
Yes, in my case (with BLL installed) the interface looks like this. You can filter/search each column:
Only downside is that the pop-up window in which the log is displayed is relatively small, so you need to scroll a lot.
That’s why I make a daily download to be able to view the log in Excel. For ad hoc searches the pop-up window works just fine.
Can you automatically let the logs be downloaded ?
Erm, stupid question, I have no place to store it (No NAS on the Iot network)
The popup is small now too, so it’s ok. If I need to really bugfix a flow I would want the excelsheet anyhow…
