Question

Has anyone else had problems with lights coming on unscheduled? This started a few days ago and at very random times, all my kitchen or living room lights come on. I've looked in the activity section of the app and the events section on the IDE and neither give any clue as to why this is happening. Thoughts?  

Answer 1

Usually happens me if there is a smart sensor that operates them and its battery is nearly dead.

@samalla Farrell or smart bulbs trying to take a firmware update and failing to do so.

@samalla Farrell all are smart switches

Answer 2

Not us, only according to the rules I've setup, nothing unexpected.  

Answer 3

Power fluctuations?  

Answer 4

Nope, no issues here. I agree about the dead batter on the sensor. They can go haywire towards the end.

@jodijodie Right, but do you have a motion sensor that activates the lights automatically? Or an automation?

@parcenary894 automation to turn on when we arrive at home. Phone is presence sensor. Humm, maybe it's showing I am leaving and coming back, causing the lights to turn on?  

Answer 5

My bedroom ceiling fan a couple of times and last night at 2am my bathroom light

Answer 6

I'm out of town. Wife just texted me an hour ago asking if I'm messing with the lights at home. I haven't looked into it yet

Answer 7

I had the same issue with devices patched using IFFFT

Answer 8

Yes had issues with some of my Lutron dimmers being triggered by SmartThings motion sensor when there was no motion, I need turning the automation off last night

Answer 9

SOLVED - our recently married son just bought a Polk soundbar. He was still signed into our Amazon account when he added the Polk to Alexa, thinking he was adding it to his. So everytime he was telling Alexa to turn on the kitchen lights, he was turning on mine!
