Resolved: Garage door just randomly opened & shades closed

I have what i’d call a stable HA environment running 92.2 and upgrade regularly. I’m a regular user for several years now, but just got freaked out, my garage door (opengarage) just randomly opened and my downstairs shades just jogged.

First thing i checked was if I sat on my mobile phone or something, but it was charging and I haven’t had the HA app open all day.

My toddler was walking around with my harmony remote (controlled via hub) but I do not have my garage door or shades connected to harmony. Any way I can debug what just happened? I can see in HA the event history that the garage door was opened, but I can’t see where the requests came in from - i.e. what triggered the garage door to open…

EDIT: wow, this is super embarassing - I realized I gave emulated Hue access to all “COVERS” on my harmony and my toddler somehow found a menu i’ve never seen before on the remote which has all of my shades plus the garage door!! Relieved I don’t have hackers or bugs in my system.

Are you also using HAdashboard on rpi?. Te reason why i asked that, was because my garage door was doing the same thing and came to find out, it was the dashboard that was going insane on the Pi.

I’m glad this had a happy ending, and you found a new menu on your remote :grin:

You were “hacked”… by a toddler. Glad this had a humorous and good outcome with a new feature found too.
