Out of the box: No. But there are a few apps that can help. Search the app store for ‘Simple Log’ or ‘Papertrails log’. Hope one can do what you’re looking for :slight_smile:

Having problems with Papertrails though, shuts down Homey app, works on the backup site!

You also can use notification. That way you immediately see what is going on. I use it for those flows i want to monitor. Once it works i delete the notification. Logging al the flows in simple log or papertrails was somewhat overwhelming. Advantage; 1 app less😱

Mja…, thanks. Seems like the time granularity on the notifications isn’t that good but I’ll give it a go anyway - it won’t hurt to try.
