Hello everyone, and specifically the Homey team,

I don’t know what you think about this, but I’m not too fond of how the current device logs are structured. “Turned on 3 hours ago” or “Contact alarm went off 16 hours ago” isn’t specific enough. My suggestion is to change this to a specific timestamp, e.g., “turned on at 16:25” or “Contact alarm went off at 08:12” and possibly combine this with the date to make it even better.

I hope you think this is a good idea. Be sure to let me know what you think!
