App Events
App "Events" Page
The "Events" page for an app, accessible from the App Status page, maintains a history of events an app has generated. Some apps can generate events by enabling an event logging option. When provided, the Events page will list th name of the event, the value of the event, and the date and time the event occurred — all as provided by the app.
- NOTE: Many apps do not use event generation at all, meaning this page will be blank for such apps. Built-in apps with an option to enable events include Hubitat Saftey Monitor and older versions of Rule Machine and Simple Automation Rules. Most apps do have the option to enable logs of some kind, which will appear under Logs rather than this page.
