What is?

Hi, I am trying to check what is connected to my internet.
e.g. what is 16:EA:11:2E:5B:BC ?

That MAC address is for a Wifi or Bluetooth chip from Espressif Systems, but their chips are used in lots of different devices so it does not really narrow it down. You could always block it and see what stops working.

When this was done in a work environment it was called "scream testing".

Thanks, I am using My devices.
It currently shows 4 Wi-Fi 3 Wired & 2 Offline
3 Wi-Fi are identified with MAC address. I am guessing one will be my iPhone
I am thinking rather than blocking, if I switch off devices 1 by 1, I should see it as offline.
There a function in My devices where I can name each device for future reference.

TV, Alexa or Google home automation?   Fridge, washing machine etc?   I thought what have we come to when the washing
machine wants internet access.

Yes, it is mad. Perhaps I am being overly concerned about unidentified devices?
