What is triggering my entrance lights to go on

[dannykay 2]

Hello,

 

I have a weird issue that I am unable to find the root cause of: I have the entrance spot lights connected to a fibaro dimmer and a push button door bell also connected to the system and few scenes to control each one. When my doorbell pushbutton is pushed, the entrance spots turn on! Now I have tried looking everywhere but I see no connection between the 2(i have no scenes that includes the 2 devices) I have no associations whatsoever. Now  how do I go about troubleshooting this? is there any log files that tells me WHAT turned on the spot lights besides the not very helpful event panel?

any ideas?

You could try playing around with ‘control protection ‘ at top section of Advance parameters to see if is triggered by RF or local control. Un tick one and test then try the other one and test.

I agree with @Jamie mccrostie. If that does not help, this is what I would do, although it is a bit annoying... I would exclude and include the module. Now you get new IDs, that is the annoying part. So you'll have to fix your scenes, but the advantage is you now are forced to have a closer look at your scenes. It also resets the module (so check parameters!). If the problem still exists, it's probably an electrical problem.

Maybe one scene triggers the other...had a similar issue these days...I had two scenes for different actions and used in code a simple "or" which lead to the effect that the action was done always because one of the sensors was always the trigger ("or").

I have a similar problem and I really think it is somewhat irritating that there is no way to look at some sort of log on what is going on. Why isn´t that implemented by Fibaro? Sounds like a pretty standard feature?

 

As is stated above, the event log isn´t really helping because it only shows what happened, not what triggered it.

Hi @dannykay ,

 

Let's try a different approach to the matter. Maybe the issue lies in the electrical installation surrounding those devices? Could you check that?
