I need some technical assistance. 

I have a treadmill that has Bluetooth functionality that I am unable to switch off, right next to it is my Volt indoor trainer. 

So my issue is, when someone of my family uses the treadmill and I am on the indoor trainer, the indoor trainer connects automatically to the treadmill which creates massive confusion when using Zwift. Yesterday I was sitting on the indoor trainer without pedaling and the cadence and watts started jumping like someone on tik. 

My question is, any way of sorting this problem out, the autoconnection to the treadmill and interference it runs with the indoor trainer,  without using a hammer on the treadmill? 

Moving it to a different room is not a option, and I would like to be able to use my indoor trainer while the treadmill is operational. 

Any advice would be great..

yep bluetooth is a transmitting frequency so 2 x BT sources create havoc with each other. I suggest running Zwift on a laptop using ANT+ which then removes the BT frequency issue from the equation. Zwift is on ANT + (dongle on cable) and the treadmill is on BT. I have 2 x Kickrs and if we both try and train using BT its chaos and very difficult to fix. ANT+ for Zwift solve dthe issues.
