In our last home (no CFLs but a whole lot of X10), occassionally there would
be a whole bunch of commands spew from somewhere...used to turn the
stairwell light on at odd time.  Searched everywhere, checked with
neightbor, looked for TOD or occupancy patterns without success, I never
found it.  I finally abandoned that house code rather than screw with it any
longer.
