It’s a code that needs to be provided in the http header. You can only get such a token after authentication on one of the Homey services. ---

Hi! I am using the app for quite a while now, to monitor my ‘Waakverlichting’ at night when I am not home to appear like I am at home. Only when exporting the date and time is in one cell with a T inbetween and a Z on the end. I would really like it if the export made separate time and date cells, like in my example. Is that possible? 🙂 ![59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/9/99d552f885ae2cc288b675c5af6a26c9be0d38e2.png) ![18](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/4/847c9f584e66dd4e1bf06ef8e341280d1fa18c2d.png) ---

Its ISO 8601 time format: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO\_8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) And I like it 🙂 You can do a search and replace formula in a spreadsheet (Excel, LibreCalc,…), to make it your own time/date format. ---

Sorry for the late response. It’s indeed a standard. I haven’t specifically chosen it but comes native with nodejs. You could check if the sheet parser can add support for this time format so you can do interesting stuff with it. ---

Hi Niels, I’m struggling to use your app within Homeyscript. I don’t know if I can use a direct function or I need to call the API. Long story short, how can I add a new logline to the log within Homeyscript including a log group. Thanks in advance. ---

fixed it ``` let HomeyScript = await Homey.apps.getApp({ id: 'nl.nielsdeklerk.log' } ); HomeyScript.apiPut('addlog' , { log:'log_content', group: 'group_name'} ); ``` ---

Hi, I exported the log and I see the time is off by 1 hour. If I look on my mobile to the log time is correct only in the exported file the time is off by 1 hour. Tried the export on 2 computers but in both cases time is off by 1 hour. Is this a bug? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/a/5acc8a21746e60e9b807ade05805f8ce3eb233e3.png) ---

I use simplelog to log all my flows, switches and so on. My default setting is: log to timeline and log. In the log everything is logged. But in the timeline a lot of entries are missing especially when a few things happen at the same time. Any trick to bring everything to timeline as well? ---

I’ve had this with other flows/apps triggering at the same time. It’s not really specific to Simple Log but more to how homey “works”. You are using the standard homey? I have not seen this behavior on my upgraded Pro ever since. On my standard homey I worked around it by adding delays to the “then” statement if it were too many flows triggering at once. Not sure if that is workable? ---

It’s a homey pro. I will try to work with delays. ---

I’m sorry to hear that the logging to timeline functions isn’t working reliable. It looks like i’m not having this issue myself, but i will keep an eye out. I’m wondering if you get the same result when using the native “Notifications / Notificaties” homey card in paralel to a “simple log” card. ---

Use the [developer tools](https://developer.athom.com/tools/app-settings) website and the app settings. Additional you can do the [css trick](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-flow-for-web-three-column-view-css-customization/9765/36) to make the “app setting” more wide. ---

@Niels Hi, I always use this SimpleLog and I’m very glad about the functions. However, I did try to make a backup to a CSV file, as I did many times before, on my PC via: > [Homey Developer Tools](https://developer.athom.com/tools/app-settings) but now I get the message: > ``` > CSV log file can't be downloaded within the app. > Go to the Homey developer site at https://developer.athom.com/tools/app-settings > Open the Simple log settings, > then use the CSV button. > Or copy the log in CSV format below: > > ``` And that is just what I’m doing, what goes wrong? Some things changes somewhere?
