I can’t delete the timeline entries from my devices. Tried to clear them via settings, notification but that doesn’t work.  
Is there anaother way to clear the device timeline?

That is working for me too but it’s each device timeline that I cannot clear. Could you please check your Homey if your device timeline can be cleared. Thanks.

I think that can’t be deleted? You could file a request at Athom… I like that timeline BTW, hope it gets back to insights…

It does something on my phone : starts some process which completely renders my phone unusable for a minute until the app crashes …

Works for me on an iPhone. Swiping left on better logic, clicking the crossed dot, done.

Ah! If I click an item it shows the exact time and date of the event. The configuration wheel only shows me remove device (which I don’t want to try) and swiping an event only rubberbands the whole screen.

Hmmm. This might take up quite a bit of disk space after a while. Clearing those logs, or configuring the amount of history the homey keeps seems like a sensible thing to do…

i thought to have read that these device logs were limited until the last 50 actions. 🤔

meaning that earlier actions are removed

I just checked that. Correct. There’s no more than 50 entries in that log. So I don’t see a reason to configure or clear that log. Unless… you need to hide an entry in the cookie jar logged by the Xiaomi Aqara vibration sensor 😉
