Something turns my Hue bulbs on at 00.00 am

Ok so I have this problem that something turns on at least one if my Hue bulbs (that is not part of any rules at all) at 00.00 at night and the rest of my Hue lights, that I have turned of by a rule at 23.59 pm, comes back on at 00.00.

They are integrated through the Philips Hue bridge. They are controlled by the app Simple Auromation Rules. I have removed them from Google Home and I have removed the integration with Alexa and there’s no scenes in the Philips Hue app controlling them. Still it’s the same thing.

Any clues what might be causing this?

Is your Hue still tied in any way to Alexa -- if so, check your Alexa Hunches.

I know you mentioned removing the integration to Alexa, but I'm not sure if that means just HE's integration or each-&-every integration between Alexa and Hue

Might turn some logging on for anything that has anything to do with that light and see if that helps figure it out.

Nope, not tied to it at al. And I tried turning of Hunches a couple of weeks ago but that didnt help either so thats why I’m deleting every connection to everything except Hubitat.

I’m gonna see tonight how it acts. Acording to the latest events history it’s Alexa/Echo integration who turnes it on…

Did that a while ago but cant get anything useful out of those logs. When I click on the Info-button in the log it only directs me back to the device itself.

Look at your hue bulbs on the device page (though I hope you pair them to a Hue Bridge and not hubitat directly if you're using other zigbee products) You can see what the bulbs are in use by

Any chance your power is cutting off for a few seconds and the bulbs are set in the Hue app to come on when power returns? I think that's under settings somewhere.

Nope since nothing else running on electricity is affected. Also my IKEA TrĂĄdfri bulbs would behave tha same way in that case.

Check Events page (button at the top) on device details page. If an automation is triggering the bulb, it should show up there.

@gopher.ny @rlithgow1 It’s running through the Hue Bridge. I cant get anything from the logs or event I’m aftaid. This is the info I get:

So as you can see, the last entry is from around 17.00 yesterday even though the same thing happened around midnight yesterday and tonight.

Yeah, it's not something that runs on the hub, then.

If you look at the lights in the device page that it brought over from the hue bridge, what does it show in the "in use by" area? Anything in the schedules on the hue bridge?

Any chance you have the Hue bridge integrated with Apple HomeKit directly? Just a guess. :person_shrugging:

Also, try logging into Philips Hue to see exactly what your Hue bridge is connected to.

Yes I have. If it’s not Hubitat then it has to be the thing causing this. That’s the only other integration I have with my Hue bridge. I’ll disable that and we’ll see what happens.

It shows Homebridge wich I have now disabled altough I don’t have a connetion to HomKit in Hubitat. Nothing in the shcedules in Hue Bridge.

19

Guess your right. I might be that it’s Apple HomeKit thats causing this. Thats the only thing I have left integretade with Hue.

I had something very similar. Happened for a few days then never again. I put it down to either some signal noise from a neighbor or a buglet in the Hue cloud that got fixed. Sometimes things have problem for which what we ourselves have done isn't the source.

Aaand we got the same problem tonight aswell so I guess the problem is in the Hue app/bridge. I’ve changed zigbee chanel fore Hue and hopefully this helps.
