I have tried writing some response to a custom string capability, but those are not really readable in the gui in the app. Insights is for numbers only, what other options do I have to show some kind of log to the end user?

Maintain a log (ring)buffer in memory and show it to the user through an [app settings page](https://developer.athom.com/docs/apps/tutorial-App%20Settings.html).
