Feature for logging Contact and Motion sensors

[lcmds]

It would be a good feature to log Contact Sensors when they open or close and Motion Sensors when they detect movement and stop detecting. On the Ring app, we can see this information as Event History, but we cannot see it on Homebridge logs. It would be something like this below that shows what's happening in real-time for Contact and Motion Sensors.

Note

[4/1/2025, 9:02:26 PM] [Ring] [Motion Detector Stairs] current state [motion detected].
Thoughts?

I don't know if I understand what you are requesting as the plugin has no control over what Homekit logs or does not log.

If I understand the OP comment, it would be good to see the motion detected status change in the Homebridge log. I'm trying to diagnose why the Ring motion sensors aren't working in my Homebridge setup at the moment and this would be very useful.

Perhaps reasonable, but, realistically, if the websocket is up, the state will update, and you can see the state of the detection in the Homebridge UI already so sure, it would be in the log instead of a visual indicator, but it's already easily possible in that case. If the state isn't updating in the Homebridge UI, then there'd be nothing in the log either.
