With many flows on my homey its not always clear when a device have been acitvated from a Flow.
With a unique ID it should be great to go to the device status and see started by: FlowID
Click on it or search on ID and find the connected Flow.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but the simple log app can help you find it out
This is exactly how the mobile app already works? Open up a device, go to the history tab and it tells me which flows controlled it and when. Tapping on the “x hours ago” displays the exact time, tapping in the flow name opens that flow for editing. Admittedly that last part doesn’t work on mobile app if it’s an advanced flow but it gives you the name of the flow which is already unique.
Thank you Jonathan, i have never seen that 3rd line where my flow is mentioned.
I use the IOS app might that be a difference?
Thank you for your reaction.
Yeah I also use the iOS app. It seems to vary by device type, or perhaps more accurately depending on the capabilities each device type supports. I have some sensor devices and for those the tab looks exactly like yours. But when I look at devices with on / off capabilities then I see a view like the one I shared. Perhaps it’s only on/off capabilities which are supported by that feature.
For other needs, I can also heartily recommend using the Simple LOG app to add logging explicitly to your flows. It takes a bit more trouble to build but it’s worth it in my view for how much easier it makes maintenance. I have those logs automatically forwarding to papertrail.app which gives me a much easier web interface for searching / filtering / monitoring logs in real time
