A Bluetooth devices keeps connecting to my MacBook Air

My apple MacBook Air keeps connecting to a unknown Bluetooth device named random numbers and letters. Is this something that I should be worried about? It also disconnects my mouse whenever it connects, and it also doesn’t have a options menu for it.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

The initial connection might show the MAC address of the bluetooth device which will be 6 pairs of hexidecimal numbers, 1-9, a-f.

It could be another iPhone in the household trying to connect.

If you have other iOS devices, open the General Settings > About and look that the Bluetooth address. If it matches what you see, that is the culprit. Why it is doing that, I don't know.
