Thanks for your response CrimpOnJr. But to be clear it sounds like you never pay much attention to the contents of these lists so you empty them? All three? I see no need to restrict access for any reason and, as I said, having things mysteriously blocked caused me fits. If there was never any content in the lists then there would never be a way to block them. And you pointed out there are two entries called Dining-Room. I believe the Dining-Room device is a simple speaker. We have two other similar speakers around the house that are hooked up to WIFI that play music and you can talk to Alexa or Siri if you get bored. Something is very flakey.
What I'm hearing is: 1.) Empty the list. 2.) Dis-able Access Control and 3.) move on with my manual review and set-up. It sounds to me some works needs to be done on the firmware.
