This holiday season while I was away, I was looking for a way to easily see that all my events were working properly and that my house sitter was letting the dogs out on time, etc. Trolling through log files wasn't really cutting it for me, so I built the Device History Plug-in to track device value changes over time and display the results.
I've been using it for a couple months at home, tweaking the graphing and tables of data, etc. but would love to have some feedback before I put this in the store.

The issue appears to be a failure to do a local copy, even though I had the option for "non fatal local copy" turned on, so I removed that line from the install. Please download a new zip file and give it another shot.
