Boolean Helper turning off by itself

I created a Boolean helper called Heating Controller that is a toggle that then runs and automation that then turns a number of automations off and on relating to controlling my heating in my house. Two times now the Heating Controller helper has changed state via: “Turned off triggered by service Home Assistant Core Integration: Generic turn off”.

The first time it happened i then added a line in the heating controller automation to send my phone a notification notifying me that it has been switched off. Last night when it happened i didnt get a notification even though the trace in the automation says that it did. If I manually switch the Boolean i can see the notifications on my phone and the trigger message is different it is no longer “ Turned off triggered by service Home Assistant Core Integration: Generic turn off” but “Turned on triggered by service Input Boolean: Turn on” or “ Turned on triggered by service Input Boolean: Turn off”.

I am not running the latest version of HA currently, running 2023.12.6.

There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with my automations, i just have no idea what is triggering the Boolean to change state when it isnt me doing it. I have provided some screenshots but if anyone else has experienced this and know what to change that would be great. This is the only Boolean Helper that i have that is behaving this way.

I will try changing the entity id but i cant see its state being changed by any other automation as nothing leading up to it changing state in the logbook aligns with anything. I will also update to the latest version of HA but i didnt see it reported as a bug when i searched the forums before making this post.

I have attached some screenshots of my configuration. I can provide any yaml if required.




Are you using any blueprints? They often use home assistant turn off because it’s generic - it works with switch, light etc. etc.

Is the input boolean set as a heater switch for a generic thermostat ?

No not using any blueprints. The boolean helper is just a toggle. It basically is a dashboard toggle to turn a number of other automations off and on. The toggle itself isn’t directly controlling any devices.
