Things to try to narrow it down:


  1. Remove any other electronics from your person. Don't carry a watch, wireless earbuds, etc. If it runs on batteries, leave it home
  2. Walk at least 30 feet away from your house. To the end of a block should be far enough


Does that odd device still show up?


The odd series of numbers/letters usually means the device isn't identifying itself properly. You may have to turn off more wireless electronics in your home to try to narrow down which one is "stuck" showing up.
