Status updates to Indigo Event Log

I scanned through all the main threads here so I hope I didn't miss anything about this.

Is there currently any way to enable the plugin to post status messages to Indigo's event log? The same way others, like Z-Wave do when messages/status are sent or received. For example, when I operate a Z-Wave switch directly, this gets printed to the log:

Jan 7, 2021 at 12:45:06 PM
Z-Wave received "Lights - Upstairs" status update is on

No but that easy to add will do in the next release as an option in config

Q: witch messages should show/ which dev type and which state ?
On/off
Dimmer changes
Temperature changes
Energy usage
..

How about setting in config
Log dev changes ff all/ on all/ set in each device edit
?

I'd suggest matching whatever happens for the Z-Wave stack right now. Definitely ON/OFF/Dimmer status always gets displayed. Energy Usage which can happen quite frequently should have some kind of option to suppress/disable log messages (this is device-specific for Z-Wave devices and not all of them have this option).

I'd also suggest distinguishing between commands SENT and status received, also like Z-Wave. So when sending from Indigo via button/UI or action, the word "Sent" is included in the status. And when operating the device physically, the word "Received" is used.

Just checking if this was ever implemented. I'm not getting any messages in the event log.

would this work:

Code: Select all

   shellyDirect                    dev:"shelly_192.168.1.112"  state:"onOffState"   changed from  "False,-ui:off""; to "True-ui:Motion""
   shellyDirect                    dev:"shelly_192.168.1.106"  state:"onOffState"   changed from  "True"; to "False"
   shellyDirect                    dev:"shelly_192.168.1.104"  state:"WiFi_rssi"   changed from  "-63"; to "-65"


?

w optioning config to log: no change / only on-off changes / all changes


send and receive seems trivial, but it is not:
on a shelly changes can be initiated through the plugin, web browser, phone shelly app/ other shelly devices

easy to add are plugin actions: " send xxx " (that is already there, but much more data - in the debug config area.)

this is what I have now (next version) is that enough?

Actions (click on on/off or menu/action ) will add to indigo log
send dev.name command send to shelly device
any CHANGE in dev states will add in indigo log:
received "dev.name" state to " value - ui value"
or
received "dev.name" state to " value"
if no ui value defined

There can be a lot of entries, depending on frequency settings, ie for wifi values they tend to change by +-1 every time the shelly device is queried

added some options for logging outgoing and incoming data, to show the same as zwave.
off/on/off only/ all no wifi/ all

Thanks Karl.

Am playing around with the settings now and it looks good. Will get back to you, if anything.
