How to determine which automation triggered a relay? Smartapp logging?

Hello,

How to determine which automation triggered a switch? Smartapp logging?

Suppose I am only using the built in smart lighting.

Is there anyway to see what triggered it? Which automation?

Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem, and the only way I was able to figure it out was print my CoRE Pistons from the dashboard.
