Anybody know how to trace what might be causing a device to switch on?

I have 2 Fibaro dimmers which turn on their attached lights at least once per day, neither of which has an association or flow associated with them.

How can I determine what is causing them to switch on?

This is one of them:

When a device of this type is not working correct you must check that all cables are connected and is not loose.

It’s not a cabling problem. It’s some kind of bug with the RGBW module firmware, supposedly fixed with a firmware update but not in my case: [Phantom menace (RGBW) - RGBW Controller - Smart Home Forum by FIBARO](https://forum.fibaro.com/topic/23820-phantom-menace-rgbw/)
