Where is the best log?

I’ve got a scene that runs every night. One light does not turn on when run by the schedule. The light status in the front end has no error. When I run it manually, it looks like it works.

I want to look at the logs to see what really happened. Where is the best place to see what is going on?

Start the following:
[url=http://YourVeraIP/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP]http://YourVeraIP/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP[/url]
Then use your Vera … activated the devices … scenes … etc that might be in question …
Save the above and look at it off line.

Thanks for this. Somehow, I missed the fact that you could pull this file up through a URL.

You can save this to a file with a .html extension.
If you edit the file … at the top delete the following lines:

<script type="text/javascript">
function pageScroll() {
	window.scrollBy(0,50);
	scrolldelay = setTimeout('pageScroll()',100);
}               
pageScroll();  
</script>

You can then double click on this file to view it in the browser without the file automatically scrolling to the bottom.

Or you could install the plugin that does this and much more:

Every Plugin/Device you install uses on average 2MB of ram.
If you do not use things (like the log file) regularly that is is wasteful.

If you only have a few devices/plugins … no problem!
