United StatesHomeLog is the best way to track and find issues in your HomeKit homes over time. Log changes in your HomeKit accessories, track when a device is unreachable and Features: • Filter by home, room or service type. • Search for specific event changes. • Mark devices, services or scenes as important for easy reference. • Hide any noisy events from your logs as required. Note: The iOS app must be actively open and running to log HomeKit events due to restrictions around HomeKit data. The Mac app can log continuously if the logging helper is enabled.
High hopes - dashed
I had high hopes for this app but have been increasingly disappointed. The app simply does not log events that are triggered by automations, Siri access and other standard methods of changing the state of HomeKit devices. I have tested it under multiple scenarios, with my computer awake, not in any focus mode and HomeLog open and running. It just doesn't log what it is supposed to log. I'm giving it more than one star because the UI is nicely built. But the functionality is lacking. Disappointing.
United StatesSimply does not work
Contacted support; was advised to reinstall. Still does not work on iPhone 12 with latest OS.
United StatesDoes not log events on M1 mac
It does not log `Programmable switch` or `outlot` events on my M1 Mac Studio. Only scene events are logged.

Apple Home/HomeKit is a hot mess and everyone knows it, but… Save your money, this app only logs some actions if the app is open, and not in the background. Pretty useless if the iPhone is all you’re using. Time better spent would be to put more pressure on Apple to make sure “it just works”, because it doesn’t sometimes.
United StatesUseless because you need the app to open all the time on screen to get log
To run this app to work, you need to keep this app open on screen. If you leave from this app and leave it on background, it won’t work. You won’t get any log. How can you keep open the app on screen all the time to get your home log? This app should not sell anyone like this and steal your money. Yes, there is writing in description. You will over look it because you will think that you can leave it running in background. No, you need to keep on screen all the time. You can not use your phone anymore to get log. This app should not be here at all. Can’t understand why they still even sell this when it shouldn’t be here at all. If it only work on mac, please sell it to mac os only.
United StatesDoesnt log anything meaningful
Forget figuring out any gremlins. All this does show you an event with the time/date. No indicator of what user or device triggered the event so no way to figure out anything more than the notification bubble you get on the phone for free.
United StatesLog doesn't capture many actions; fills quickly on large setup
I have a fairly sizable HomeKit setup, with many accessories, hubs, and scenes. Even when running on a Mac on the same network, only about half of the changes seem to appear in the log. Worse, after a day or so, the app starts to freeze on opening, and the developer indicates that it is likely because the log file is 'full.' The developer is planning a fix for this condition, but so far, it is basically unusable for me. It's a shame, really. It's a great design, and I love the menubar option, sorting categories, etc. I love the other 'Home' apps in the Pearce Media family, but given its inability to log consistently, this one isn't worth the price for me. I am hopeful for improvements in the future.
