Lights come on at midnight?

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I’v recently set up some mild automation where I turn on a switch 15 minutes before sunset and another that turns that light off at 11:00 pm.

Now for the strange part, that light comes on at midnight. I have to toggle the light off. I see the entry on the log, but I’m not sure if that’s me fat-fingering the toggle on my phone trying to turn off the light.

The light is a linear lb60z1 dimmable led. Anyone experience this? :open_mouth:

Here is the automation:

##################################################################
# Turn on/off front room (aka Office) light at a dimmed setting
##################################################################
 
- alias: 'Turn on office lights at 15 minutes BEFORE dusk'
  trigger:
    platform: sun
    event: sunset
    offset: '-00:15:00'
  action:
    service: scene.turn_on
    entity_id: scene.Office_low

- alias: 'Turn off Office light at 10:00'
  trigger:
    platform: time
    after: '22:00:00'
  action:
    service: light.turn_off
    entity_id: light.linear_lb60z1_dimmable_led_light_bulb_level_3

If you don’t have a automation for turning on your lights at that time that’s very interesting.
What does you log/logbook say?

Are your time zone and location set correctly?

Yes, set by lay long from google maps.

I don’t have a lb60z1 but I do have some Phillips Hue bulbs. For a few days, I was boggled by the lights randomly being on when I woke up in the morning. I eventually realized we were having very small power outages, and the Hue’s behavior is to turn the light on to full brightness on the normal color. Could it be something similar for the lb60z1?

Turn off the auto Zwave network heal

I had a feeling it might be that based on the timing. I’ve just changed the config to turn it off. Let’s see if it happens tonight.

Thanks for the input!

Did it happen? =)

Nope, that was it. Thanks all for confirming my theory. :relaxed:

So I’m having the same problem, exact same bulbs (LB60Z-1). It’s happened twice at midnight now (and annoyed my wife and I in the process).

I manually ran a zwave heal and it happens to, so i’m sure it’s the heal causing it.

I did notice that this was a light that was manually turned on/off at some point during the day. Is that typically related? What’s the impact from disabling the zwave heal on my zwave network?

Not much. Just run it manually after you add or move something.

I also have this same problem with the LB60Z-1 bulbs. I’m using the rpi, all in one installer, I’m searching around and can’t find where to change the setting. Can anyone point me in the right direction - tks

AlucardZero, You have no idea how many times I was on that link. I was at the very bottom looking at automation scripts, since that was the first place I saw “auto_heal”.

I see it now - - autoheal (Optional): Allows disabling auto Z-Wave heal at midnight. Defaults to True. I can’t believe I overlooked it. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

I followed AlucardZero’s tip and turned off autoheal and no problems this past night. I’ll just manually run it when i’m adding or moving devices from now on.
