Hello!

I have a Tradfri Socket and a.RGB bulb.  
Until yesterday they worked perfectly - turn on /off.  
But now, something changed. I havn’t done anything in my setup or flows.

Issue - there are two scenarios.

Scenario 1:  
1: Turn on the socket  
2: Turn on the bulb  
Result: Socket turns off immediately after the bulb turns on

Scenario 2:  
1: Turn on the bulb  
2: Turn on the socket  
Result: After 5-6 seconds, the bulb turns off.

I have tried to removes both devices and add them again. Nothing changed - still same problem.

Can someone help???

Additionally:

When I turn a Sonos Play:1 and the the socket afterwards and at last the bulb - everything turns off.

Any body have any ideas???

with everything do you mean sonos, the socket and the light?

is this within a flow? or is it manually?

Yes - all three devices turns off.

When its programmed in a flow (which should turn all the devices on, see picture), it all turns on for 1-3 seconds, and then turns all the devices off again.

</div>

if you go to more -\> apps -\> tradfri which flows are connected to that app? Maybe there is a flow that does something strange?

also which firmware are you on at homey?
