**Feature description** Add an event log to view all the states of the various devices over time. An example in the Freebox app of the security pack: ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/6/63215c594c01bf83f492048c31f09488f1a2357e.png) ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/8/87af5262f2a7fbc72841966bb1e287aa43f29a57.jpeg) ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/9/94a661b3c8a3338e898d2fd4478120154aab35d6.jpeg) ---

Voted! 👍 We also need to think about where we access this information. Directly from the dashboard (which seems sensible to me)? If so, how? ---

Absolutely! I’ve been dreaming about this for ages to have the opening history of certain doors! 😁 I would add: being able to filter this view by a specific device. ---

Thanks for the request, I agree that an event log would be nice 🙂 However, given what’s described here, is it really an event log that you want? Isn’t it more a way to visualize the binary sensors on the dashboard? HA does that kind of thing, for example: ![f6c008d9f1197bd9bbb443ad4e873ccaecece6ba](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/2/23f357eb07374fc0babc01f52815e63eb9b8c585.png) ---

Both would be great. A widget to put on a dashboard for example with a history like your example for a binary sensor such as open/close, motion or even outlets, lamps… and an event log. For the log I would see something like the sessions in a new tab, in the top bar next to Scene, which would be called Log or Events. ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/7/75fae7d1e045cf2a24c30ab96ffaaf5311a323f8.png) Instead of the session connection elements, display the list of all events produced by the sensors we have selected and for the period chosen in the settings. ---

I agree @_Will_71 🙂 But then it’s two different requests Could you create a request for the graphical display of binary devices on the dashboard? I know that @lmilcent has been asking for a long time but strangely there still isn’t a feature request (or maybe I looked in the wrong place) ---

No problem, I’ll make a request for the chart of binary devices. ---

For your information @_Will_71, I edited your request, because this event log thing is no longer related to the binary sensors, it’s just a global log 🙂 ---

Hi @Jluc 🙂 Since this request was created, things have changed a lot: it is now possible to visualize changes in the states of binary sensors (door open/closed, motion detection, etc.) directly on the dashboard. This partly addresses the original request, even if it might not be exactly what was envisioned at the time. ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/b/7/b7ad76b5b60a9d2cc3d39c702a51c8f7e667cdd9.png) ![Screenshot 2024-10-07 at 15.10.24](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/e/8/e833a1936670e1cea4e0415d3ceca787fb3c78db.png) I’d be curious to know if this request is still relevant! ---

I use binary charts and, as far as I’m concerned, they’re very good and sufficient. ---

Hello, and I’m in favor but I don’t have enough left at the moment 😜 The ON/OFF is fine for a binary, but if you have text (like TEXT states that change), you end up with this: ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/f/7/f7bdb28e07e64f8f08abf8917fb134432bb56c4a.png) ---

Hi everyone, I’m taking the liberty of reopening this topic, because I feel the discussion and votes have drifted a bit from the original request. Originally, it was about logging **binary devices** (doors, windows…), which has been implemented in Gladys ✅ The latest messages are more about **text logging** , which is a completely different subject. I think it would be clearer to close this discussion and, if you have another need, to create a new, specific request. This will help better organize exchanges and votes; otherwise this topic may remain stuck for several more years 😄 Thanks everyone for your contributions! 🙏 ---
