What device is this?

[Béèm]

In USB devices I found this one

Manufacturer=X10 WTI
Product=RF receiver
VendorID=0bc7 ProductID=0006 KERNEL-MODULE=ati_remote

Would this perhaps be a bluetooth device?
If not, what can it be?

It's a X10 wireless RF.

About X10 WTI
X10 Wireless Technology, Inc. designs, engineers, markets and sells easy-to-use affordable products to make everyday life safer, more convenient and more fun. The X10 PowerLine Carrier protocol was created in the late 70s and continues to be the defacto industry standard for home remote control of lights and appliances. Over the last 30 some years, the company has developed and sold millions of units, not only under the X10 brand name but also as an OEM for major consumer electronic companies such as IBM, Phillips, Magnavox and Radio Shack. Our proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless protocol enables affordable transmission of audio and video from a PC to another TV or stereo in the home.

IC,
A home network for appliances.
Interesting, but there should be an application program and the home appliances should have an X10 facility then.
Could give lots of fun if one could switch on/of the lights, TV or whatever in the neighbor's house.

X10 looks real cool, but having done much research on it recently I've found it to be completely inadequate for my needs.

USB relay controllers look much more promising for the future of precision power control.

Why can't I just buy a power strip that has a USB input to control each socket individually? There is one that can power on and off with a computer but that's not what I mean or need.

I found this;

so it could be an ATI TVwonder remote control module, though the device ID is 0004, whereas yours is 0006
