January 11Jan 11 I have a 6 button keypad in my bedroom. Main button controls a light. KP1: fan low --> in a scene with fanlinc motorKP2: fan med--> in a scene with fanlinc motorKP3: fan high--> in a scene with fanlinc motorKP4: securityIf my security system is engaged at night and I am home, kp4 lights up and is set up as a quick and easy way for me turn off the security and if pressed again w/in x minutes, will reengage the security. I have this so that in the rare occasions, if in the middle of the night my dog needs to go out my bedroom door, it's a quick and easy way for me to deal with the alarm system. So last night, the dog needed to go out. I pressed kp4. The kp button turned off, the security system turned off.... all as expected. When the dog came back in, I re-pressed kp4, just like I have done many many times over the last 8+ years where there have been no changes to this program or the Fanlinc scenes etc. However, instead of the security coming on, suddenly the fan started to turn on and off and all the keypads buttons that control the fan started to blink on and off corresponding with the power level that the fan was turning on! Thinking the switch had somehow shorted out, I pulled the gap out. Switch went dead but the fan kept cycling. I opened up UDM to the fan scenes and the cycling was continuing there. Trying to stop or start turn on turn off etc was not affecting the cycling of the fan.I finally went to the fanlinc motor node and hit stop and all was good again. Pushed the stop gap back in, pressed the security button and the security came on as expected. In 15 years with this technology.. this was a new type of "event" for me.. lol.. and not a fun one at 3:15am... enclosed is movie of UDM cycling. Why kp4 triggered this event is beyond me. And no, for those of you wondering, there is no program associated with this fanlinc at all and never has been. The wonders of gremlins. ScreenRecording_01-11-2026 03-08-31_1.mov
