All items of a group were triggered

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4
    • openHAB version: openhab 3.0.1. (openhabian)

not sure if this is correct here. Last night we had an unpleasant surprise. Couple of minutes after 01.00 a.m all blinds went up, lights, aircondition and TVs went on. All those things are controlled by openhab only. So I unplugged the pi turned everything off and went back to bed.

This morning I had a look in the logs.

The openhab.log doesn’t show any entries at that time. Last entry was hours before.
The events.log showed the following:

This is only part of the log.

Now I try to figure out what caused this.
Pretty sure that it can not be the result of a rule. The items for the TVs and airconditioning are not part of any rule.

All I could figure out so far is that only items that are part of the Group “EG” (First Floor) were triggered. Most items are not a direct member of that group but member of a room which is then member of “EG”. Items that are part of the group “AT” (Attic) or “OU” (Outside) were not triggered.

I have no group switch for the blinds and lights. Only for the AC but that was not triggered. Log shows it only changed the status because the ACs changed to “ON”.

I have no ideas how to find out what triggered the items. Maybe anyone has one?
Thanks Mathias

Using Alexa or similar?

Various lines of enquiry here that you could look into

no, not using an Alexa or anything like that. Thanks for the link. I will look into that.
