Hi, is there a way to log all the activity of homey? ie “this flow has been triggered at this time” with all the actions of the flows timestamped? I want to check if all the actions i’ve set up in the flows are doing well and keep an history of all actions done by homey. ---

The papertrails app offers this. But you probably have to add a log action to your flows. Also, keep in mind that a log like that can become quite large. ---

Thanks. I don’t want ot keep the history for ever, the log can be cleared once a week or even once a day if it has been sent by mail. I’ve seen PaperTrails but didn’t manage to use it yet. I’ll take a second look but it seems Papertrails can only log the text entered by the user. I was thinking of a timeline similar to what Jeedom offers: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/1/91e5ba17411441014207c84a8e2036f94d9eceb4.jpeg) ---

Never had an issue with the size. But if you have, papertrails also has cards to clean up the log ---
