How to create a debug log and diagnostics

[Asmir1975]

A bug report needs three things: a short description, a debug log and the diagnostics file. This is how you get them.

1. Debug log

A) Quick, in the UI
Settings → Devices & Services → Home Connect Local → ⋮ → Enable debug logging.

Reproduce the problem, then click Disable debug logging. Home Assistant downloads the log automatically. The startup of Home Assistant isn't included.

B) Recommended until the problem is solved, in configuration.yaml
This includes startup and stays active across restarts. Add this to your configuration.yaml and restart Home Assistant:

logger:
  logs:
    custom_components.homeconnect_ws: debug
    homeconnect_websocket: debug

Then download the full log: Settings → System → Logs → ⋮ → Download full log.

Remove the lines once the problem is solved.

2. Diagnostics

Settings → Devices & Services → Home Connect Local → your appliance → Download diagnostics.

The file has the appliance profile and current values. Keys, serial number and MAC address are removed.

3. Report

Open an issue and attach both files. Add your model number and a few lines: what you did, what happened, what you expected, and roughly when. The time helps me find it in the log.
