Please show more z-wave state/logging to keep user informed
I've had Homey in the box for a few weeks, before fixing the orange-ring-of-no-go problem, and started testing again. Found a few new bugs, which I posted on github.
Please add to homey that it shows on the device card more current information about z-wave communication, like both Vera Edge and Fibaro HC2 do. The first shows last and current status, and the latter even shows a whole log in detail when adding and communicating, which is wonderful for example when interrogating a device. If it's too nergy for Homey, put it in a "More" or "Technical details" tab/dialog which you can open.
When I toggle a wallplug in Homey I am kept in the dark what Homey is doing. This is really annoying, especially if the device doesn't respond immediately. In Vera for example it shows sending commands, waiting for answers, retrying after faillure. Screenshots from Vera:

The screenshots and movies that i saw are missing a lot of useful/necessary live/actions data.
