I don’t know if there’s a more minimalistic driver out there. I’d stay with the stock driver.
Speaking about SmartThings logs, I got on the Advanced webpage, selected a device, went all the way down to logs, and selected ‘Export’ to CSV. I noticed that the CSV log file that was downloaded had a few missing entries from what I was seeing on the website, AND, instead of showing the correct timezone time that was shown on the website, it instead used GMT zero time instead.
So to get what I needed, I had to change the website to show 100 log entries, then I selected all of the log entries so that I could copy and paste the data with my current time for analysis.
You’ll see that your Zigbee devices get a ‘health check’ every 30 seconds. This is to monitor whether certain attributes have been reported as recently as they should have been (or in the last 1.5 should have beens) and if not to request an immediate report . You’ll see this happening less and less as stock Zigbee drivers are updated because the benefits aren’t really worth the performance hit on most devices.
These are the database entries for the events that were received by the the cloud.
Of course the timestamp is GMT, because that’s how databases work.

Be glad it’s not Unix epochs:
By the way: not every event a driver sends to the cloud is saved. At least for things like temperature or humidity, the value must differ from the previous event. All events from a temperature sensor for the last 12 hours:
Yes, there is a community driver that better supports GE/Jasco switches, dimmers, and motion/dimmers. It is based on the drivers developed by @philh30 who is no longer developing for the ST platform.
Subscribe to this channel and install Corey’s Z-Wave Switch driver. This driver should also give you settings that are not available in the stock driver.
That’s weird. Here is the link to the topic with his channel link. Try from there.
That works! Thanks.
