Debug options for scenes

Context
When I create scenes that are starting to get complex (multiple tests on 4 devices with many conditions), it is sometimes complicated to understand what is not working.

Proposal
I propose to add an « debug » action block that sends a message with the current status of the different devices and test results. This block would be limited to the step in which it is positioned.

In my case, I would have seen that all my tests were fine (lights off, no movement, door open), but the time condition was still false (between 8:00 PM and 5:00 AM).

For that, I would like to use the « Background Tasks » screen (in the settings) to display a clean execution history of the scenes with each choice made (why the condition is valid/invalid).

After that, it’s a lot of work.

I do it with the debug message function. I run it in parallel with the tasks. I admit it’s tedious.

To avoid cluttering your account’s discussion thread, you can create a debug account.
