## Update: v1.2.0 – Content tag, Tab separator and “yesterday”

Thanks to @Drako74 for the ideas! v1.2.0 is now available as a test version:

> **[Timeline Export | Homey](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/dk.timelineexport.DrChip666/Timeline-Export/test/)**
>
> Keep your timeline history safe in a file

### What’s new

- **Content tag** on the When card _The timeline was exported_. It holds the whole export as text, for example to send with the **plain text** card in Email Sender
- **New Then card for Advanced Flow:** _Export the timeline as [format] for [period] and return it_. It gives the links and the content directly as tags. The original Then card is unchanged, so it still works in standard Flows
- **Tab** as CSV separator. Paste the content from an email straight into Excel or Google Sheets and the data lands in columns
- **“Yesterday”** as period: the whole previous day (00:00–23:59 in your Homey’s time zone), so daily exports never overlap or leave gaps

### Daily backup example

1. **When** the time is 00:05 → **Then** _Export the timeline as CSV for yesterday_
2. **When** _The timeline was exported_ → **Then** Email Sender (plain text) with the _Content_ tag

### How large can it get?

In my tests a busy day was 56 notifications (about 8 KB), and the whole timeline, 250 notifications (about 44 KB), also went through fine as a tag.

It looks like Homey only keeps the latest **250 notifications** and removes the oldest. On a busy day that’s only 4–5 days of history, so a daily export is a good way to keep a longer record.

### Privacy

The timeline can be quite personal (when you leave home, motion, alarms). Links expire, but the _Content_ tag in an email stays in the mailbox, so think about who you send it to.

Feedback is very welcome, here or on GitHub: [Issues · DrChip666/dk.timelineexport.DrChip666 · GitHub](https://github.com/DrChip666/dk.timelineexport.DrChip666/issues)
