Homepod can't determine Home location

Hi,

I was trying to set Arrive/Leave home automation on my Homepod but it doesn't work properly.


If I set up automation for me based on the exact address I type in, the blue circle appears on map determining the radius of automation for this location and everything works fine when I lease/arrive .


When I add another person for this automation, Homekit says "Adding other people will change the location of this automation to My Home". Setting up "My Home" as default location doesn't refer to any point on map and obviously the Automation stops working.


I've already added "My Home" location in my Contact card and Apple Maps but it doesn't help. Homepod/Homekit just can't determine "My Home" as a location on map and can't trigger Automation.


Any thoughts how to fix it?

Thanks!

HomePod, iOS 13

Look in the home app, long press on the HomePod to bring up settings (tap the Gear icon) scroll down to location services and make sure it is on , also needs to be on in the device you set up Homepod with.
