I’m reading that 192.168.0.116 is the only device assigned a MAC address, the others are available. I presume the output is from the VM app, I don’t/can’t use it as I run in modem mode.

That whole DHCP table looks odd to me, as the last octets are repeated in places. Maybe a pinhole reset would do the Hub the world of good .....
The only other thing I can think of is the Pod is getting one IP, and the rest are devices attached to the Pod? Who knows, I don't use Pods and I certainly wouldn't use the Hub as a Router.

The actual IP is 115, question is, where do the Self Assigned come from ?
- AdduxiVery Insightful Person
That's a TP-Link MAC address for the Smart socket. So assuming it's grabbed a DHCP lease and the Hub is reporting it as "Self Assigned".

It's not the only one, most of my devices have multiple IP's assigned according to the router , as this example

In the original post there is a table of IPs, the display format looks quite different to what we see from our VM Hub's Connected items web page.
Exactly what are we looking at ? I.E. What make / model of device displayed that table of information ?- Segovia123Tuning in

I have done a pin reset, and It's cleared up a bit, I only have two devices with multiple IP's, but I am still getting Self Assigned and DHCP, surely they must be one or another

The devices with multiple IP's are not my Mac devices, they are mainly smart sockets
- Client62Alessandro Volta
The suggestion is any device may self allocate an IP if the DHCP response is incomplete / not received,
which could be a DHCP server fault or a network cable fault.
When a Window computers fail to get a DHCP response they self allocate in the 169.254.0.0/16 range
which is very obvious as it fails to work on a domestic internet connection.
There are so many smart devices I am assuming there is a network switch involved,
if a smart plug was connected direct to the VM Hub does that work differently ?
