Yes,

You can view events info directly on the device properties:  
(_click on the “x minutes ago” line to reveal the timestamp_)

To actually log them to insights, there is a workaround:  
Add an [Adv. Virtual Device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) from the app [Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/) as an in-between, and let it write the bool values as string values (open/closed) in insights.
