Don't know if its me or something else. I have all lights set to turn off at 3AM, I have them all clicked in a rule, about 30 lights. Yet, every morning, there are some that don't shut off at 3AM. Is this too many devices to be deactivated at once in a rule? Should I set mulitple rules and spread it out.
This could be a mesh issue. Likely not all commands are reaching all lights.
Are you using Zigbee or Z-Wave switches?

This is likely the solution, if @Sebastien 's assessment is correct, which I am leaning towards as well. Some improvements to the mesh may also help, but it may still pay to spread them out as well.

One other suggestion is to try.....App to turn off a lot of devices with retry
You would create a virtual switch that could be used in your Basic Rule that would then trigger the All Off app.

Combination of both Zigbee and Zwave.
Instead of setting all the devices in the rule I would set them up as a group. Then use the group in the rule. Groups have a few options you can try. If you are using Zigbee bulbs then enabling group messaging will greatly improve the performance and eliminate the popcorn effect.

Are the switches that stay on all on the same protocol, or on several?
You got a few really good suggestions above. The app to turn off a lot of devices is one that I use - might be a good option.
