Actually, I just had something similar happen with a Schneider Electric dimmer. Weird. It is simply turned on or off from basic flows. Why the one turning it on isn’t named in the log I don’t know, but suddenly the app turns it off again immediately after being turned on. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/7/477262d76c89152ed4fe365af77a79878d661fb6.jpeg) Has anyone experienced this? Edit: more like five seconds later this time, so a bit different. ---

> [@Axel](#): > > Why the one turning it on isn’t named in the log I don’t know, This happens when you turn on the lamp by using a “dim lamp A to 50%” action card. Then the log says _the app_ turned the lamp on, instead “flow X” turned the lamp on. So, “Turn lamp A on (or off)” _does_ gets registered in the device log. Hint: to log all, and view all flow behaviour, use a logging app like Papertrails or Simple Log. ---

You are right 🙂 an easy thing for Athom to fix. But the other problem is still a mystery: why is “Schneider Electric” and “IKEA Trådfri” switching devices on or off at their own discretion 🙄 ---

Im having this issue suddenly, any one has a sollution to this. I get a weird start of the light by “IKEA TRADFI app” on a E14 BULB but also on my LED driver. The only thing i can think off is the following: I recently install two ecodim zigbee dimmers and I merged via a flow the dim level of the ecodimmer to the state of the ikea smart bulb. So when i use the ecodim the smart bulbs and driver will turn on / off and dimm proportionally. but if this is the issue it would be weird that is turn on by the “IKEA TRADFRI app” so i wonder if this is an IKEA app bug or is it my dim flow crashing the app. Any Ideas? Kind regards. ---

Probably just b/c the dimlevel is altered, Tradfri is registered as the app which turned on the light. Afaik, there’s no log of who or what changed a dim value. [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/tradfri-light-triggered-by-tradfri-app-without-flow/52666.md?page=1)
