DB board keeps tripping mysteriously at night

[electricky]

Is it possible that a DB board can be controlled from outside the unit/house itself? We suspect that someone has been playing around with our electricity and we're wondering if that is possible.

I know next to nothing about electricity other than the basics so please excuse me if this question seems.. interesting.

Before this we had a strange occurrence where our toilet lighting have been flickering and turning on and off at particular time, (e.g morning time would be working fine, and it doesn't work till evening (flickering etc) and it works afterwards the whole night). and repeat until it stopped working completely.

Right now I do not own any items that consume a lot of electricity such as an oven or even a fridge. I only own a desktop computer and a single induction unit for cooking, and a washing machine that all I do not even use at night, so I wonder why it suddenly starts tripping.

Loose connection for the flickering. Maybe a fridge or freezer kicking in during the night. When did you have the place last inspected and tested? Might be a good starting point.

Have you had a smart meter fitted recently?

That was my first thought too.
(I've just realised this is Malaysia not UK)

A loose connection or slow damage due to water getting in are most likely.

Also as already mentioned you might have something like fridge/freezer or air conditioning that kicks in at certain times causing the fault to appear. Freezer auto-defrost is a common one that happens rarely so not easy to find on a simple test.

No fridge apparently.
