Initialize , Heal, Re-Start cause lock door to open door?

[nivchen (Niv)]

Hello,

A strange behavior that repeated twice:
once a month (?) or few weeks/days, at a certain point all the connected devices change their state to ON then after a minute to OFF.
The impact is low on electricity plug for night light, but it is a killer for the door lock - that causes the door to open.

Anyone knows why it happens?
Is it an OpenHAB setting/config I can change? Heal? Initialize?

Thanks.

Unexpected events this morning

Hi, at about 5am this morning all my devices, lights, heating all came on and Alexa went to volume 10 and started shouting something! I switched everything off using the app, and a few minutes later all the lights etc came on again. After a few repeats I got up and rebooted the raspberry. And then it happened again! So I disconnected the internet and went back to bed. A few hours later I reconnected the internet and all is fine. Looking at the logs I can see items gettting On commands but …

Does this look like I have been hacked?

I recently upgraded to the 2.5.11. Yesterday, I went to the greenhouse and the temps on the equipment had been reset to 100 degrees and the lights had been turned on. Not something we had done. I spent some time last night working on some alerting. And looking through logs. Everything looked good when I signed off. This morning, everything we reset to 100 and the lights were on again. I found these entries in the logs: This was the first odd entry. I had setup a way to record info at anothe…

I’m sure there was another similar incident too,but cannot find it now. Common theme not established yet.
Are you using Alexa?
Do you have a full-time tablet or similar openHAB UI display?

I do not use Alexa or full-time tablet, my guess now is: the Z-Wave Controller has a Healing time in OH, and if you heal maybe that “reset” the devices connected to the controller which means change the state and change it back. I really don’t know if this is the issue, but I set the healing on the controller in OH to: Disable. Now I will observe and I expect it to never happen again…or it is not the answer.

First mention of zwave. Is your “all devices” problem confined to zwave devices?
Yes, a nightly heal can produce odd effects - typically some zwave device Items just get a NULL state, no spontaneous commands. But that unexpected NULL can cause knock-on effects in rules that do not handle it gracefully. There would be a tell-tale trail of Thing activity in the events.log for this. (causing linked Items to re-initialize to NULL).
