You can, by using the [Device Capabilities app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287), but you’ll have to create this flow part for each device you want to monitor:

But are you aware of the mobile app’s device log (longpress a device to view it), this is automatically done by Homey. This also shows flow names when a device is commanded by a flow:
