Can't seem to find a reason why , but everyday at 7:00 my lights turn on.
On the timetable nothing seems active and schedule is empty as far as I can tell.

What am I missing?

Check your log (mono output).  If HG is commanding the lights to come on, it should have a line that shows what program is running the command.

Also, you might want to check the modules.xml file and look for the light that's being controlled on to see if it has something in the parameters that you don't expect.  I had an instance a while back (early last year I believe) where lights were turning on or off (can't remember which) at 9pm even though I had nothing set up to do so.  I looked in the xml file and found a reference to it as I recall.  After playing around for a while, the interface showed the 9pm line out of nowhere.  I deleted that section and things worked as expected again.  I have no idea what happened, but it was definitely strange.

Hi Philkeeper,

Thanks for the tip, just checked and it seemed that I also had a schedule in that memory.
Cleaned the memory so I'll see if it worked tomorrow morning.

It was indeed the memory of the CM15 controller.

Thanks

FWIW, if you had said you were a new user and were using a CM15, I would have suggested that as the first possibility.  When new users come from AHP, they sometimes forget that their timers were stored in the controller and don't understand that HG has no way to clear/use the memory.  Glad you got it sorted.
