Trailing log with all piston events?

#1

could we have a central trailing log that catches all piston log entries ?

#2

Honestly, it would be pure chaos… and it would be nearly impossible to make sense of all the commotion that happens… It is infinitely more efficient/helpful to have each piston keep track of it’s own logs… (even that takes some practice to understand fully)

Side Note:

SmartThings IDE can show a log of events, but it does not go into the detail that webCoRE’s log does… The ST log can be found by:

  • Logging into the ST IDE
  • Click on “Live Logging” up top
  • Wait for events to come in

One other alternative is to program pistons to send specific log data to some kind of database… It could be a Raspberry Pi, a Google Spreadsheet, a text file etc… This won’t capture everything though… Only the data that you program

yes, that’s what I was thinking of. As a user I want to know what all pistons are doing without having to go into every single one of them and look for a log.

Another method:

If there is a light / device that did something unexpected, you can see what piston initiated that by:

  • Logging into the ST IDE
  • Click on My Devices up top
  • Click on the device in question
  • Click on List Events

That usually shows which piston ran which commands
