to speak.

If it starts doing things on its own, try covering the sensor with a piece of
aluminum foil. If it stops then it's an IR noise problem.

We also have occasional problems with noise coming down the power line and
upsetting things. If that happens, get a power line FILTER (not a cheap
surge supressor).

You could also try the foil over the sensor trick with a pinhole in the center.
Hold the remote up to the pinhole and see what happens.
