Secondly, as a test, I tried to control the box in the living room from the kitchen - this is about 6 meters away and through two internal brick walls - it did work, though obviously it would depend on exactly what was in the walls! I think Bluetooth range is typically 10m, so at 8m you'd be close to the limit.

It's not Bluetooth, it's Zigbee/RF4CE.
