How this automation works
Keep a running record of when your door or window sensors detect activity. This Applet logs each time a specified Energenie Mi|Home open sensor detects that a door or window was opened, and saves the entry in a text file in your Dropbox. Ideal for monitoring home access or tracking entries over time.
