Suppress device state updates in Event Log

For some devices, like motion sensors that frequently turn on and off, it would be convenient to have an option to suppress the event writing to the logs, similar to the option available to hide trigger events writing to the log.

Thanks for the suggestion. We have plans for much more granular control over device logging.

Re: Suppress device state updates in Event Log

Matt,

Is suppressing device status request updates in Event Log still an active project ? This code does not suppress Event Log entry for me. If there is another way, please advise.

Code: Select all
indigo.device.statusRequest(123, suppressLogging=True)

Re: Suppress device state updates in Event Log

What kind of device are you sending the status request to? This should definitely work with Insteon and Z-Wave devices (unless the request fails).

If it's one of those, please paste in the Event Log entries (include several lines before and after the status request line).

Re: Suppress device state updates in Event Log

It appears to be a device flaw. Because both IN1 and IN2 do not respond to manual "send status request" from Devices folder; IN1 does auto update from device, but IN2 does not. A Schedule is needed for python code to. update status. resulting excessive entries to Event Log.

Event Log segment. The received IN1 are auto updates form device. IN2 and Relay 2 are manual requests.

Re: Suppress device state updates in Event Log

Hello,

The Fibraro smart Implant sensors requires either manual or by code "status update request. I can turn off the update request value event log entry, but not the initial request event log entry. Are you still planning to implement a "granular control over device logging".

Thanks

Yes, but it isn't on the short-term / high priority list we are actively working on at the moment.
