How this automation works

Record your Homey Flow executions automatically in a Microsoft 365 Excel sheet. This Applet runs every time a specific Flow starts on your Homey system and appends a new row with relevant event details. Perfect for tracking automations, logs, or energy routines in a single spreadsheet. Note: Users must be Homey owners with the IFTTT Homey App installed.
