Various dimmers and switches turns both On and Off at random times. Not even the same dimmers are involved.

How can I solve? Anyone else experience this?

It’s a bit annoying when your bedroom light turns on during sleep…

Hej Christoffer,

A question, do you have a log card to all action parts of your flows? Like, Papertrails, SimpleLog, Timeline, Callmebot, Telegram etc.  
Only then you can filter out what is happening.

For instance, I scratch my head quite often about ‘new phenomenons’. In the end, it almost always seems I edited or added something in my flows which caused the unexpected ‘malfunction’.

There have been more reports about (especially) Hue turning itself on or off.  
I haven’t seen the cause/solution yet.

#### I do have a workaround:

_**Turn off the lamp when [brand X] has turned on the lamp**_

This is possible with the [Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/) app

In my example I used ‘Tuya cloud’ instead of ‘Fibaro’

If you have created the flow below:  
then turn on the lamp with the Mobile Homey app, and look in the timeline notification for the _exact_ name of the client (client = the app or service that turned on the lamp).

.  
Now you can create this flow, and use the client’s name as a filter

.  
Timeline results, bottom report is from the 1st flow, top one is from the 2nd flow:

I completely reinstalled my Homey. And it’s still happening. See attached example. I have only one flow to turn on/off lights outside when sun sets/rises. Fibaro has turned this off…

I would suggest to contact Athom.  
By the way, this is not the only case that a Fibaro device turns on/off by itself (see this German language [thread](https://community.homey.app/t/wer-hat-das-geschaltet/75223)).

@Peter_Kawa, I have tried your workaround. However, the result is nothing different than the info in the device timeline. Or am I missing something?
