Lights turning on unexpectedly

[fasttimes]

I have a group of lights (which may or may not belong to an ISY scene) that has turned on to full bright. I don't know when or what causes this to happen but it is annoying the wife.

 

How can I track this down?

It matters if the errant devices belong to a scene or not for a possible solution.

Start with determining:

 

- are the lights part of a scene

- the specific time the lights come on unexpectedly

- whether a program fires at the same time

- other activty in the log at the same time

I had this happen many times.

From the admin console query each device and see

- if the level changes

- what the level is

- if the combination of device levels matches any of your scenes.

- if the status changes of the devices are recorded in the ISY log.

 

I haven't had problems with this for a while but to my best guess I had a OnOff appliance module spitting out bad code that matched a scene I have. Most of the time the ISY log had an error from the device each time this happened.

 

The cure - I unplugged it a and plugged it back in. I haven't seen the problem since,

This is not conclusive but a good indication and only time will tell...never know for sure though.

 

Just power cycling every device may fix it for you but I would want to, at least, get a suspect device first.
