One of my two ZEN16 multirelays using Zooz Multirelay driver spontaneously turned on all three relays. This wasn't the consequence of a rule. In fact, one of the relays is spare and not used anywhere. The only In Use By for the unused relay is Device Watchdog. Nothing is wired to SWx. No, Alexa hunches not enabled. Power fluctuations aren't likely as both are on the same UPS. Only one of the two ZEN16 did this.
It has only happened once, but did leave my garage door open, which is disconcerting. Anyone seen this?
Interesting. Based on the sequence of entries in the log, it looks like something caused the parent to turn on three times, then the children reported their statuses It n response to that.
Not sure where to point you if the only thing using the parent is Watchdog.
No, that's not necessarily how it works. If you turn on or off any of the child devices, the parent will show on and off as well. Here I turn on one of the child devices:
Interestingly, when I turn on the parent, only one of the child devices turns on.
In any event, there was nothing to trigger the parent device to do anything. I suspect this is a fluke hardware malfunction.
Yeah, I saw your post when searching for similar events, but didn't think it was necessarily related since it was a different device. Could be the similar components inside the ZEN16 though. I don't think a dashboard is causing my issue since the unused relay definitely doesn't appear on any dashboard.
One thing that blew me away is I have 10 or so of these double relays and I did an app switch between two of them and the problem moved. That tells me that it is not hardware. The other thing is it is still doing it with nothing like yours.

I am using the zooz advanced driver. Like I said I have 10 of these for 6 months and just now the one is acting up but I swapped it to one of the other ones and the problem moved hence why I believe that it is not hardware. Not sure where to go from here,
Bump. For the record, this happened again after three months, so very intermittent. Same ZEN16. same symptoms. The parent and all three relays turned on spontaneously. As I mentioned in first post, one of the relays (dev:2708) is no connect and not referenced in any rule or app.
We're only seeing the log from a point when the Multirelay Lower device is on - can you show us the events from earlier that would possibly reveal what prompted the device to turn on? Is the Multirelay Lower device the main ZEN16 device?
There is nothing in the log preceding what I posted that is related, but I will send that to you that portion of the log via message. There is nothing in any automation or app that would simultaneously turned on all three relays as two are completely unrelated, and one is not in use anywhere.
Our posts are passing each other in the ether.
