How long is event history stored for devices?

Last updated: January 5, 2026

Seam guarantees event history retention for 30 days on all devices—locks, thermostats, access control systems, etc. Events older than 30 days may not be available through the system.

Preserving historical data

If you need to access historical event data for auditing, reporting, or compliance purposes beyond the 30-day retention period, we recommend:

  • Pulling event information regularly (at least every 30 days)

  • Setting up automated exports to preserve historical data in your own systems

This ensures you maintain access to all necessary event history for your specific requirements.
