I have an automation that turns on the RGB back lights on a tv. one of the choices is to turn them off during daytime. The wife goes off to work early in the morning and often turns on the news to see what’s happening usually before sunrise so the back lights come on. Today she left the TV on and when I looked a little later the lights were on. I checked the automation and it did indeed turn them off at sunrise, but something turned them on a few seconds later. The wife was gone, so I know it was not her. Is there a way to tell what issued the ON command?
Usually if you see something like “turned on” without any further information,
the device was turned on outside of Home Assistant.
Not sure what kind of light your “BigTVlilghts” are but if you are having e.g. Phillips Hue it might be that they have been turned on via the Hue App.
I had something like this in the past with one of my Shelly devices where I integrated Shelly DIRECTLY (not via HA) into Alexa. If then someone turned on the Shelly via Alexa or an Alexa Routine, in HA I just saw that it was turned on.
that’s what i thought as well, but i doubt it. the lights are a govee backlights that can be controlled via wifi or bluetooth. the reason i don’t think it was turned on by anything else is that there was no one home but me and the remote control for it has had the batteries removed since i integrated it into HA. It’s really a mystery on what it could be and that it happened 11 seconds after the automation call to turn off.
