So last night being New Years Eve I used other lights outside my normal scenes and schedule turning the brightness up or down on a few lights. Strange thing happened, after about 15-30 seconds they turned full on. Happened on three different lights.

 

I tried to repeat the behavior today but cant duplicate this. I have noticed this happening various times in the past but I chocked it up to my fault or setup issues but clearly that is not the case now that I checked the lights.

 

Thoughts on how should I go about trouble shooting this? Next time it happens just immediately go grab the log and post for help?

The log is a good resource, but you don't need to drop everything. Just make note of the time and search the log for what occurred at or around the noted time when you are able.

I've had the same thing happen randomly and found nothing in the log that would help me identify what happened. The most recent was when I manually turned off a (2476D) SwichLinc Dimmer v.38.

 

I attached a file containing the log records when the incident occurred which includes the follow up steps recorded when I fix it (turned all lights off) and my comments.
