But only Eric knows how true this could be,
In which case, I wonder if the keypad could of gone faulty, this is why I

You didn't mention whether anyone else was in the house, or could have

Needless to say, we have unplugged the thing,untill we find the cause.

Occam would suggest that human involvement, however unlikely, is less
unlikely than spontaneous sequential button pushing.
