History without Notifications

Currently the only history that appears in the dashboard are based on the notification rules. I would like to see the ability to create a rule for an activity to be recorded into history without the need to provide a notification.
I don't necessarily want to be notified throughout the day every time the garage door has been open, left open, or closed but I would like to be able to login in the evening and review the activities of the day.

  • I double this.  I just want to go into history and see all "events" or activities of the paired garage door openers, such as "2 Stall Garage Door - Open at 2:50pm", "2 Stall Garage Door - Closed at 2:51pm".  I don't care for Alerts (Notifications) for EVERY EVENT.

    Suggestion is to have a setting for each paired device (such as garage door openers) to have all events show up in history.

    If this isn't an option, I suppose you could also just update the Rules to allow you to create a rule WITHOUT having to select an Alert through the App or Email (NO Alert).  Then that activity would show up in History without a notification each time.

    Major missing piece of functionality.  Similar to home security system, through the app I can see a history of every event (each time a door opens or closes) without being alerted to it.  Then you also have the ability to add Notifications / Alerts for things you want to know about IMMEDIATELY.

    e.g. indifferent, undecided, unconcerned kidding, amused, unsure, silly sad, anxious, confused, frustrated happy, confident, thankful, excited

  • Easy solution is to set the alerts you want in the history, but turn off alerts on your phone. The alerts will still come through to the phone to be recorded in the history, but the phone will not alert you otherwise.

  • Agree.  The issue isn't just the alert on my phone, and the solution isn't to turn off ALL alerts as some alerts may be helpful (such as if the door remains open for a pre-defined amount of time).  The alerts that don't add value, either a phone app notification or email notification is each time the garage door opens or closes.  But if you want the action of a door opening or closing to appear in history, then you HAVE to have an alert enabled for it otherwise it won't show up in history.  It would be simple to allow people to create rules for actions that should appear in history and then allow the user to select which rules they also want to trigger an alert (smartphone notification and/or email notification).  So it shouldn't be mandatory for a rule to be forced to trigger an alert, make that part of the rule optional.  Simple fix!
