I do not consider this to be a problem, just thought that I would mention it ... and I won't be surprised if someone here (Brian H?
) points out to me that this has been a known issue for a long time.
I first configured my house for an X10 security system (PS561 Security Console ++) in ~1996.
Last year my sister gave me a broken & discarded-as-worthless 2009 Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop that had been abandoned by one of her daughter's (apparently, well-off) friends at college (Sis was aiding in a move to a new apartment and stumbled across the thing and got the story from her daughter). Terry well-knew of my hobby & success in fixing such devices (I rebuilt a couple of Dell Latitude C640s for her & her daughter a couple of years ago), and brought it back for me.
I rebuilt it and then added a few improvements, one of them being an internal Bluetooth module ... I then acquired a BT mouse.
I use the laptop (now my favorite) on my kitchen table ... and, often during use, the BT turns on the X10 wall switch for the TV Room that is located ~10' from the laptop. I know the BT to be the culprit after switching it off and using a USB mouse instead.
I prefer the BT mouse (
and being able to easily use/synch my cellphone with the laptop), so I happily live with the TV Room light popping on.
Just wondering if anyone else had run into this.
