since a few weeks I have a strange behavior of one and only one lightbulb within my smart home. It is a hue bulb that is part of a bigger lamp consisting of 6 bulbs.
All the lights are integrated to my system via the hue integration so that I can still use the hue app.
At some random time (mostly during the night) but also during the day, this one light just turns on. I can't identify any other activity that is happening at the time when the light turns on so I have no idea what causes this.
Also, this light is not part of any automation, script, etc.
Does anyone have an idea, why this happens and what I can do about it?
My idea for now, is creating an automation that is turning the light of, right after it turned on in case not all the bulbs of the lamp are on. But this is just a dirty workaround...
My guess is that you have something external to HA doing this. Routines in an app, Alexa routine or something like that. If the device logs says just "turned on" that is a good indicator.
If you don't use it just disconnect Alexa from Hue. The device log indicates that it's coming from outside HA. I don't use Alexa myself, but doesn't it have something a "learning mode" where it initiates lights on / off based on previous behaviour?
This sounds similar to an issue I've had the last week or so. One of our hue bulbs has started turning on by itself. All our bulbs (a mix of Hue and other brands) are paired directly with ZHA.
It's our kitchen light and turns on about an hour after all the lights are turned off. If I wake up during the night and turn it off it turns on again about an hour later.
No automations reference it except for one which turns off all lights in one go (the night script).
Did you ever get to the bottom of it? I'm thinking of trying to reset the bulb completely or pairing it with the Hue app (it's one of the ones that has bluetooth as well).
