walkman9999 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Hi all, Obligatory thank yous in advance, this forum has been a great source of information. Over the last few days, the lights in my house have been triggered on without my input. Sometimes it is one light (on a keypad link), and most recently it was every device on my network all at once (approx 20 devices of various types, including an I/O link used to control garage door!). The events do not occur at any regular time or in concurrence with any other activity on the Insteon network that I know of. And, there are no programs that include every device, so I can't imagine it was a programmed event. When I look at the logs, it shows the events occurring, but I cannot tell what triggered them. Is it possible that some local RF source is causing the problem? Or possibly that the ISY box is being accessed from outside (I have a static NAT setup thru router, but do not use the default user/password). Quite disturbing, any ideas how to troubleshoot? Thanks!
LeeG Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 The Log shows all 20 devices turning On? There have been reports of All On events occurring with speculation they are the result of low batt in a motion sensor or PLM issues but these do not show in the Log.
walkman9999 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Yes, all devices triggered. Battery status shows OK, but I can replace easily enough so I'll try that. Sorry for poor formatting, but these are the relevant log entries. All listed in black whereas other log entries are blue. I haven't read enough about logs yet to know what is wht, but I'm reading now.

LeeG Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Not clear from the Log why the devices are changing state. For the ISY to mark the change the device signaled the change or a Scene was run that changes the devices.
Xathros Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Was anything logged between 16:20:17 and 16:20:39? If so, please post those entries. -Xathros
shannong Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 How often does it occur? Can you leave the Admin console running on something? The information captured in the Event Viewer will provide more information that isn't captured in the logs such as programs being running, variables changing, etc. As an immediate troubleshooting step and security precaution, I would change the password while at home.
