Hello guys,  
One feature request for your mobile app:  
Possibility to display exact date and time in the timeline when the event occurred.  
Sometimes “11 hours ago” is not detailed enough.

Besides thank you very much for this great new app version. Really started to work with my homey again! Keep up the good work

I just add date and time tags to events I send to the timeline 🙂

@bvdbos  
So simple! Why didn’t I think of that 🙂 Thanks for your tip  
Still it would be nicer to just switch the type of time representation like in the details of a sensor.

@Dijker  
Thank you for your hint. Wasn’t sure where to post my feature request. Will do that later and you two have to click on the like button 😉

Thanks for your hint.  
Actually I do use that app and really like it. But it is a little cumbersome to get the log in the homey app (more --\> settings --\> scroll down to simple log --\> open it)  
Moreover I use simpleLOG really for logs/debugging which then contains a lot of information and the timeline for events of actual interest in daily usage.

To bad clicking on one item does not change the indication on all items, that leaves room for improvement 🙂

I thought the exact same thing yesterday when I installed the new app version 😁.  
Still nice to see that the team implemented my suggestion so quick.  
Do you want to write the suggestion to the app dev guys this time?  
I don’t want to seem too unthankful 🙂
