Rebellious Hue lamp!

It is not directly a Homey issue, but it is driving me crazy. One of my lamps in the living room has a will of its own. It turns itself on and off at random, it seems. It is a HUE filament lamp, connected to the HUE hub, which is connected to the HP23.
I checked all my scripts and flows multiple times before I discovered the lamp goes on by itself even if the Homey is turned off! Then I deleted all
Hue rules and automations, but still it turns itself on. I am out of ideas… I made a little flow to turn it off when it turns on at night, but it still is annoying.

Do you maybe have a hue app with automations?

Does it also do it when the Hue hub is turned off?

How did you connect the light?
Does it have continues power? (It should)
Or is it behind a switch (hou should not)

Depending on the settings a light will turn on when the power is back on.

Could it be a power off- power on causing this?

Checked all my hue apps. One app found 2 rules. I could not figure out what they were, but I could clean them anyway. I deleted all Hue Labs formulas. No change.

Maybe check via your phone app for flows where these lamps are used?
Maybe there is a flow that you don’t expect to turn on or off your lights?

Maybe it helps to use the script from Arnie to search in flows for the Hue lamps
