homey-log-to-file

Capture stdout/stderr of a Homey app and write it to a logfile (default: /userdata/std.log).

The logfile can be retrieved through an HTTP request to your Homey (default port: 8008)

Installation

Add the package to your Homey app.

npm i robertklep/homey-log-to-file

Usage

const LogToFile = require('homey-log-to-file');
...

class MyApp extends Homey.App {

  async onInit() {
    await LogToFile();
    ...
  }
}

Make sure to remove the call (and optionally the package itself) from your app before publishing to the app store.

Configuration

async LogToFile(logfile = '/userdata/std.log', port = 8008, flags = 'w')

• logfile: file to write log statements to (/userdata is where apps can write persistent data to, and it's highly recommended to use this directory for the logfile)
• port: port on which the HTTP server will listen
• flags: file system flags to use for the logfile (the default, w, will create or truncate the file; if you want to keep the logfile contents across restarts of your app, use a)

Retrieving the logfile contents

The contents of the logfile can be downloaded by making an HTTP request to http://IP.OF.YOUR.HOMEY:PORT/

curl http://192.168.1.8:8008/
