Lights spontaneously turn on #1044

Closed tomlcooper closed 2 years ago

Issue

My Innr outdoor lights turn themselves on spontaneously.

I do not have any automations to trigger these lights, and looking through my Apple Home app, nothing else happens at 11:54:48, the lights spontaneously turn on. I wasn't home and did not trigger anything.

I'm running Homebridge-Hue on a Raspberry Pi. These lights are the only lights connected to my Hue hub.

Homebridge Hue is just propagating the state as reported by the Hue bridge to HomeKit. Probably a glitch in the mains power. The light goes from unreachable to reachable at about the same time.

That would make sense, except the lights are fed from the same power as my Ring floodlight cam, which doesn't go offline. I think I may need to move my Hue hub nearer the outdoor lights' "control box" (the bit that contains the Zigbee module).

Maybe a loose connection or failing wire? Could, in theory, also be a firmware bug in the control box, causing it to reboot.

Issues with the Zigbee signal between the control box and the bridge would leave the lights uncontrollable, but wouldn’t cause them to turn on.
