Just wanted to say THANK YOU, @rigpapa, for your thoughtful attention to detail. The new “Stop Sign (!)” icon – that I saw for the first time today in “Activities” – really saved my bacon by bringing my attention to a couple of place where I’d forgotten to update a device selection.

This, after almost a week wondering why my dumb Sonos’ volume kept NOT RESETTING every night as instructed, and thought I had updated that device everywhere. Apparently not! :slight_smile:
