Frustrated with Rogue Routine

I have a series of lights that are turning on and off at about the same time everyday. in an attempt to find the rouge routine, i disabled everyone of them in the WEB\Advanced uses. every routine shows as ‘disabled’ yet the lights continue to turn on and off… I even removed my HA smart app, no other smart apps are present.

i seem to recall, that at one point i had created a routine that interacted with the lights in question to produce some rudimentry vacation routine. that was likely on the old smartthings app. i do not see that routine when i log in now to my.smartthings.com and advanced users/rules

in the logs, it is only showing the event, the light was powered off (or on). nothing else is showing up (like a rule started,etc).

how can i track down the culpit and, more importantly, disable it…

TIA,
Steve

When you go into the History and disable “All devices” and just have “General History” displayed, you should see what Routines are running and at what time. Check the timestamp at the time your lights are turning on/off to see if there is a Routine being run at that time.

In the AWA, check the “In Use by” section of the device details to see if any Routines are associated with the device.

In the AWA, verify that you don’t have any Smartlighting Recipes still enabled.

If you have the ST Alexa skill enabled, check to see if you have Hunches enabled. If so, Alexa could be the culprit and you should disable Hunches.

I had to disable the problematic lights in Alexa as Huncges was disabled and no Alexa routines included them. Once I disabled those lights in Alexa, the activations of those lights stopped.

Thanks @h0ckeysk8er, I didnt see any hunches listed that looked like they would turn on and off the lights, but i took the giant leep and disabled the Smartthings Skill and everything seems good now. thank you.

@peeps , thank you as well. your suggestion also helped narrow down the culprit.
