This!! ^^
It worked perfectly. Thanks!!
I pretty much do this, I have a ‘House Log’ channel in Telegram and log things like security, climate, presence to it.
But I generally keep all my debugging notifications in the flow instead of deleting them. Instead I have an input_boolean in HA to turn debugging notififcations on/off. So wherever I had debugging notifications when I was making the flow, I just drop in a condition: only if this input_boolean is on.
So if I need to go back to it later, I can just turn on my master debug notification switch and then my ‘House Log’ becomes much more detailed. Fix it and turn it back off.
That’s the only logging I do, since I have all my automations in NR as well I don’t really find the Logbook useful so I just have it disabled.
Is there any advantage to having the log disabled? I’m still debugging every now and then. Mostly when I make a new flow that unknowingly overlaps with another one.
At some point though I can see not really needing to debug and not needing the log, once I stop tweaking the system.
I have found @Kermit script really useful though initially struggled to get it to work because I had not asked recorder to include the light domain.
This is a more generic version not specifying an entity and hence it gets logged regardless (it seems).
