Jonathan,
 
That sounds like a good workaround until we figure this out.  Has this happened to anyone at a time other than midnight?

Hold on for just a bit longer.  As soon as we get past the COM stability problems (the bigger issue) then we'll be looking into this in more detail.  It is likely this will be fixed within the week.

Others have reported that the false startups are at exactly midnight.  Is this the case for you as well?

I can't tell exactly what time it has started since my wife wakes me up to let me know but it sounds about right.  By the time my wife told me about it, it had gone through the whole set.

As long as we can get that bug fixed before the 23 of December, I'll be happy.


Jonathan,
when you say a short loop, with no lights, does it have a song as well?

I used Audacity to create 30 seconds of silence (30 seconds was the default, but you can choose any length of time you like), and then I created a sequence that I called, interestingly enough, "30 Seconds Silence".  I went ahead and imported channels from the template, but you don't have to; just create a new channel and save.  The "song" will loop until after the critical midnight time and that *should* keep the scheduler from running the main show. 
 
It worked for me last night, but the caveat is that I've been testing a lot of different things recently so my configuration is different from yours.

I'll give it a try. I'm fed up of getting the nagging elbow in the ribs followed by "Your light show is still on". Makes for very sleepless nights after being awaken that way! Tongue

Well I did Jonathan's trick and it didn't come on. I set it at 11:45pm until 12:30am. I didn't get the elbow in the ribs so it must be a good thing. Wink

I'm also having this issue on winxp with the latest version of the scheduler (1.069).  Immediately after the show is scheduled to end, it turns on 4 of my channels (they are either channels 1,3,5,7 or 2,4,6,8; I'm not entirely sure which) and leaves them on until I stop and then restart the scheduler (it might be that if I waited until the following day, the next show would start).  I hope a fix is coming soon.

We have not had this issue at all. Windows Server 2003 nothing else installed.
The lights that are on, may get the on signal at the end of the seqnce, I know that I have a single mini tree that turn's it's self on at the end on one of our sequences.
Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

I think this is probably a separate issue. I would expect Aurora to turn all lights off after playing a sequence, but it doesn't seem to. The way to get around it is to add an event very near the end of the sequence and ensure everything is turned off after that event.
