Lights turning on unexpectantly

Ok, must be my house trying to tell me get off my chair and go sleep in bed, but this morning I woke up in my living room chair with the floor lamps on. I know they were turned off, so curious why they would be on? Couple screenshots of memberships and logs. As you can see took me about 30min to wake up but the used MobiLinc to turn it off.

Loking back thru my logs it seems to have happened a couple more time over the last 2 years. not at the the same time either....

What type of dimming / switching mechanism is controlling them?

IIRC Insteon bulbs will turn on with every power blink. Many other controllers do this as well. This was to accommodate the people  that want to be able to switch the bulb on from the wall switch by power cycling at the switch. My Hue bulbs do that (grrrrrrrr..) but I have programs in ISY to shut them down upon booting up. You just have to stare into a room with a few hundred watts of LED white light for a few minutes in the middle of the night after each power failure.... frequently in the rural.

Some bulb types are now user-programmable for what they will do in a power blink.

 

EDIT: I see you are using a KPL and this probably doesn't apply. Have you checked your programs looking for ones that are set to "Run at Startup"?

Yeah it is a KPL controlling a On/Off Module 1714 rev1.1s Will check on the programs

Also, as a troubleshooting tool, the admin console has a search function  you can use on your programs to search for a particular device, variable, or even a raw piece of text. This can assist with finding the usage of a device in some old progam from ages ago, you may have forgotten about.
