We shall see how it works in practice after Christmas as I believe Santa is bringing me a remote.
Strange, when I turn off wifi and bluetooth with the OS shortcuts, and then turn on bluetooth with nickelmenu, wifi doesn't turn back on. Bluetooth turns off when sleeping and when I turn it back on with nickelmenu, wifi doesn't turn on.
I been doing this way for several days now, and wifi hasn't turned on at all even if I reboot.
My battery life is still great using the remote 3-4 hrs a day.

I got the remote for Christmas as anticipated. Last night in bed I read for an hour and a half using the Clara BW. Once I enabled the Bluetooth, I turned off WIFI. The front light was around 25%. Total drain in an hour and a half was 2%.
