Hi there,
I created a few simulated devices and also created a workflow to generate random numbers for this devices.
I want to show the Device Connection Log on a dashboard but gets a message “No Log entries found”
Although this is not real devices is there a way to populate the connection log?
Thank You

There is an [API endpoint](https://docs.losant.com/rest-api/device/#set-connection-status) you can use to manually set a device’s connection status. The easiest way to leverage this is to use the [Losant API Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/losant-api/) in a workflow and choose the ‘Device: Set Connection Status’ Resource/Action. Then, set either `{"status": "connected"}` or `{"status": "disconnected"}` in the request body.
