Have a bug in one of my rules that I can't figure out. Every day at 8 pm, all of my lights downstairs shut off. I know I've done something wrong, but can't figure out what's triggering it. Log attached.
At 8pm I do have mode change to from Day to Evening. This doesn't do anything else on it's own (or least it's not supposed to) -- other rules just check the mode to set lighting levels etc. Also, this doesn't happen when I change mode manually. It's possibly related, but I can't figure out how.
I've looked through every rule associated with the affected devices and can't see any issues.
My questions: I must be missing something and the log isn't telling me much (attached)... is there a way to see all rules/apps that are associated with a time condition or trigger? Similarly, anyway to see all of the rules/apps associated with a mode change?
And the second thing to rule out is your wife playing around on you. My wife did this to me early on in my smart home journey. I was checking logs, disabling rules, couldnāt figure out what was triggering stuff until I finally heard her laughing uncontrollably from upstairs.
Seriously though.
I agree to disable Alexa hunches. I havenāt had this issue but I have read many have.
I assume you have all of these devices in a group. If you go to the device page of that group and go to the bottom of the page it list all the rules that are driving that group. At least itās a pointer to all the rules you need to look into.
If you still canāt figure it out, turn on all the logging for those rules and wait until it happens again.
Thanks. It didn't look like any hunches were set up, but I've disabled them altogether (as far as I can tell). Each of those devices are associated with Alexa (but so are dozens of others that aren't affected).
Based on her level of irritation every day, I'm confident in ruling out wife as a root cause.
Devices are in a couple of groups that are in the logs (and some of the devices -- though not all -- that are in those groups also show up in the logs). I'll start logging on the more likely suspect rules and see if anything turns up tomorrow.
Just had a thought...I also had a rule recently that kept causes an exception as I was editing it (no idea why). I ended up being able to delete it and re-do it, but I wonder if some of it's code is left active somewhere.
Yes, and can't find anything obvious. In fact, most of the affected devices are only used by rules that don't do anything. Probably worth stepping through them again though...
