If the log is small, then you can manually download it via de pop-up window.
If you want automated downloads, that is possible, but you need to be able to store the log, like on a NAS (see my earlier post), which is not an option if I understand.
Perhaps you can also send it to you via mail (instead of storing it on a drive/NAS), but I have no experience with that.
I could maybe upload it to my google drive…
Thing is, if I need the logs, I need the actual file, not an older one…
So it will be either download or the one trough the app settings…
Can I do something with this card
Previous in this post: Create an html file and open it with any of your browsers and whala ( I use it):
Also previously in this post :
I’m looking for a way to do this off-premisis…
I am also using that card to obtain the log to store on my NAS.
The card results in a tag (named ‘Log’) that represents/contains the log. You then need a subsequent card to handle that tag. In my case, storing it on a NAS; in your case something else. I assume you could have the log send to you via mail or message, but you’ll need to check the respective messaging apps, whether they allow you to use the said tag.
You could combine it with
Add a device, pick FTP server app, tap ‘ftp server’ and select your found local FTP server:
Working flow:
(the “Clear log data” card is only needed when the log is too big >> don’t ask me to define “too big”)
To regularly upload the export to a (local or internet based) FTP server:
(Just add a suitable trigger)
I used this ftp card:
Result, my logs as Excel file:
.
When you want to export to an online (internet) FTP server, add a “custom ftp client” as device, and when it’s added:
then from device settings, enter that FTP servers’ data
Make a VPN to home, I use WireGuard for that via my Internet router (Mikrotik or OPNsense), but it is non Homey technology.
Ok, will try and figure something out… FTP to a server (or Google Drive ? ) to be able to access it sound good also.
In the meantime, the flow I intended to use it for spits out 50 entries a minute because I logged True and False outcome at first, so I had to cut down and only log the ‘True’ and ‘Action’ outcome…
Edit :
Now it does about 8…
I updated my previous post with working FTP examples!
I appreciate your help but :
I got 9941 entries in 1,5 days… 
“Just” 4000 entries in 3 days here. I seldom use the trigger log card btw, that one will spam the logs big time.
But can you save it to FTP, a log with 10,000 entries?
Yes. My current log contains approx. 37k records and saves every day to the FTP server on my NAS (via the FTP Client app you linked a few posts earlier).
37k is pretty big (I think). Thanks for sharing!
I hardly ever purge the log. It seems to be working just fine. A flow makes the extract during the night, so I don’t mind if it takes some time to export.
Would a large log become problematic?
Well, when the FTP client was just released, uploading the unpurged log (to a local NAS) failed all the time.
Until Arie suggested to purge it, keeping x days. That worked.
Maybe things have changed, or I had a really huge number of entries.
Ah good to know. I’ll keep an eye out for that.
Just for reference, the log with 37k entries is approx 6.5MB and takes 30 secs to extract and save (as an Excel file) on my FTP server.
I logged on every ‘true’ and ‘false’ on every AND card, that eas a bit much 
Now only on the AND cards that make a real difference in how the flow continus..
Yes, and on THEN cards obviously
Ok, so the card
Just spits out the file, it’s up to me to ‘catch’ it and write it to a file ?
Still not sure how to do it.
ChatGPT thinks it’s a download link, so he/she is of no help…
I have a HTTP/FTP server running on Homey, but that doesn’t help, I still can’t access it (neitehr away or at home since my Homey is in another network)
