HomeLog for HomeKit
A HomeKit event-log viewer for examining accessory changes, searching events and isolating important or noisy devices.
Consider for focused HomeKit troubleshooting sessions
Filtering by home, room or service helps narrow a stream of events when investigating an intermittent accessory.
Keep in mind: On iOS the app must stay actively open to log events. Continuous Mac logging needs its helper enabled, so a closed phone app is not an unattended monitor.
