Sengled Bulbs bombarding my mesh with events

🛎️ Get Help
1

I'm sitting here at work and looked at my dashboard and had 3 lights, some motion sensors, and who knows what else not responding. I checked my logs and was getting excessive events. Lights were turning on and off 1k times an hour.. I rebooted the hub and still happening. Now I was going to power it down remotely but it appears offline. I Checked Alexa and she shows everything offline..

Any thoughts on what happened? Been noticing some weird things for a few days. Sonoff motion sensors stuck detecting motion. I changed the batteries. Though I've never once been successful with them working again after a battery change.

Sounds like a device is going bad. Look at the logs and see what device is being overly chatty.

3

It was 3 or 4 bulbs that I saw constantly flooding the logs. I feel like it's as likely the motion sensors that trigger those bulbs as the bulbs themselves. I guess I'll find out when I get home, that's if my hub even works anymore.

I recently added an Aqara temp sensor, could that be freaking out my mesh? The sensor itself has been working flawlessly, even putting to shame my sonoff sensors in accuracy.

That's likely not to burn out a hub. I would reset the sensor (it will re slot when re paired) and see if that stops things. Personally I don't like the aqara because they have a tendency to drop off the mesh. Also are they smart bulbs or are they on a smart switch?

Their smart bulbs, Sengled color. I'm really thinking it's those damn sonoff motion sensors. They always cause problems at battery change. I've never successfully got them to rejoin the mesh without issue and I'm not just talking 1 or 2. Im starting to feel like Sonoff is real crap.

My favorite is NYCE.... How are you fixed for repeaters? Since Sengled doesn't repeat, it may benifit you to add a few

Every room has at least 1 in the form of a plug.

Finally got home and sure enough the hub didnt melt down, just red light was on. Yanked the plug, cause there was nothing else i could do and plugged it back in. Turns out it was 2 of my range hood lights going nuts. I am looking through the logs and found where it all went wrong. I just remembered I accidently turned on the hood lights manually (sengled color) because they didnt come on for whatever reason (thinking that was a 1 off blip, it happens). So if I am understanding this those Sengled bulbs caused the problem but they were specifically designed not to be repeaters so I'm a bit confused why they went nuts.

Going to change the name of the thread because the hub didn't melt, infact I think it did admirably trying to keep up with the bulbs.

So now Ive added everything back into their groups, automations, and such but the lights are still struggling. They wont respond after I removed them and readded them from scratch. Heres a sample of the log just now. What does all these debug entries mean?
