Hi everyone,
Before I ask my question, here’s my current situation: I am running Home Assistant in a proxmox VM on a intel NUC, with a conbee 2 stick for Zigbee via Deconz. I have about 10 lights (both Ikea and Philips Hue ones) and roughly 10 motion/door sensors from Aqara.
As long as no one touches any switches in the house, everything seems to work well enough most of the time, but try telling a 3 year old not to flip switches 
When she does, and I turn it back on again, the light bulb (either the Ikea or Philips Hue one, doesn’t matter) sometimes goes into a state where it starts to turn itself on and off at a random interval. Even if I manually turn the light on via a button in Home Assistant, it turns itself off again after x seconds and then back on again after x seconds.
So far the only solution I found is to reboot Home Assistant to “clear” the state the light was in and that usually does the trick.
What I am wondering is:
- is there any solution to prevent this from happening? (without the obvious answer of not flipping the switch in the first place)
- would connecting the lights via the Philips Hue hub instead of the Conbee stick help?
