You can use the earlier mentioned FTP Client app and create an FTP client device (two examples below) that links to the FTP server on your Homey (use your Homey’s IP, the FTP servers port and credentials in the settings screen).
To browse the FTP server to download the log, go to the FTP client device’s setting and tap the Maintenance > Repair option. A pop-up screen appears. The pop-up screen shows you the folder structure and files on your FTP server, e.g.:
Im not sure you can get it uploaded anywhere online, unless it receives files encoded to base64.
You could, possible at least, have an external ftp client connect with your homey (it has internet, so you could map your ip address to homey and only allow the ftp connection from external to your homey.
You already have a ftp server on homey right? So you can have it downloaded. I guess it should be possible that you connect from tour private home network, to the smarthome/home network through the internet. Do you have a NAS/synology on your private network?
Yes, but it’s behind NAT also. Yeah, made it pretty impossible :
-My internet router does NAT
behind that there’s a NAT router with my LAN
next to it is a NAT router with the Homey network…
On Homey I have a http/ftp app for some mp3’a for firealarm.
I might be able to put up a http/ftp server on a NUC or Raspberry just behind the internet router. It would be accessable from the Homey (outgoing connection) and with a port-forward from the internet…
Arie,
I know Johan lives in Fort Knox , but,
Wasn’t part of the fun you don’t need to be on your LAN to download the saved files with the FTP Client app?
So, in theory, this howto should work for you, @Johanp, from anywhere, for as long as you are able to reach Homey with the mobile or web app;
It shouldn’t matter whether the files are saved to an FTP server on Homey, or to a local NAS.
Yeah, you can download the log files on your homey app. And you can do that from anywhere yeah.
But i am guessing @JohanP wants the files on his NAS to automate some logging, right?
The way he describes it, is that he has no access via the mobile or web app from outside his home, and in his home only if he connects via an (internal) VPN:
Ah thanks for clarifying.
Then my suggested option should work.
On iOS, when you download it via de FTP Client’s pop-up window, you have the standard share controls available, so you can also save/share it to other destinations.
I am not a Google Drive user, but assume it would also be part of those destinations.
If I understand you correctly then you are planning to generate a daily log. So the manual download steps are limited to once a day. I don’t think there is a quicker manual download option in this case.
I did came across another app (Easy Logger) that allows you to write rows or a Google Sheet. So the Google Sheet would become your log, to which you add rows/log entries. I have no experience with this app. But if you want Homey to make a log available in your Google cloud environment, then it may an alternative to consider.
I mostly use send to timeline and log card, and most of the time I get duplicate entries on the timeline, they have the exact date and time on both entries, so that suggests they are doubled up and not different, is it just me or does anyone else have this happen.
Are you sure the respective flow is not being executed multiple times after each other?
E.g. when you have a flow with:
Multiple triggers, that become true at (almost) the same time, or
A triggering sensor value that changes multiple times per second?
Such cases can result in a flow being executed multiple times a second. You will not see that level of detail (on the millisecond level) in your timeline.
