my HomePod keeps disappearing from my automations.
I'll set it up as an accessory to play music and after a couple of days it has been removed as an accessory from all automations.

HomePod, 13
It would seem as if you and I have been following the same path. HomePod will stay connected sometimes for a week before disappearing.
I'm starting to think it must be a software glitch that hopefully will be repaired in a future update.
Ok too funny.
When HomePod disappeared from my 6:00 am automation yesterday I decided to try creating a scene that would set HomePod to Play a playlist. Then I added that scene to my 6:00am automation. This morning the scene was missing from the automation.
This might not be a HomePod problem. Maybe it an automation problem.
Let's see if the scene is still there tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I woke up this morning to see that my HomePod automations (including scenes) have all disappeared from all my iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) ..... frustrating ..... in some ways, I'm glad you have warned me about this occurring so that I'm not as ****** off ....
OK ... is there any other automation that we can get the HomePod to do besides play music from Apple Music that we have to subscribe to (besides sounding an alarm)? Wonder if there is an issue with the HomePod using data from Apple Music. Is there some other source of sound/music that HomePod can call on (as opposed to the data being pushed to it like when we play music from our iDevices to the HomePod)?
Looks like I spoke too soon. This morning at 6 AM my automation didn't happen. I checked the Home app to discover that the scene with the HomePod in it has disappeared also another scene that had a HomePod command is gone as well.
This has been happening to me for a few weeks as well. Tried resetting the HomePod to factory settings but that didn't help. The HomePod will just disappear from the saved Scene a minute or so after I create it (when it syncs I think).
Have you found any solution?
It’s. doing it again on mine.
Added back in on my iPhone (on iOS 13.5) this time, will see if they work In the morning. Not updated my iPad to 13.5 yet, because they were re- done on that. I notice the icons for HomePods keep changing,
Or maybe we need to create them on the iOS device we set up HomePod with? Makes no sense since it should work on any Home App & sync across devices signed into iCloud I had always done mine on my iPad.
Look at the HomePod icons. Both should have 3 HomePods and the Daily one show a little speaker icon. The speaker icon pops up randomly. My iPad doesn’t look like this.
I seem to be having the same issue. Installed my new HomePod on 27 Apr 2020 ... so it should have the latest OS. My iOS devices have the latest OS as well.
Please read my Apr.27th comment.
OK thanks for the heads up. Will monitor the situation and let you know.
Thought I let you know that all my scenes and automation involving HomePod disappeared about a day after as you have warned me earlier.
Tried this .... the automation after being set up disappeared a few minutes later ...... :-(
Around May 11th I put HomePod into a scene(I set it up to play and scramble a play list) it has remained ever since
Mine are back to working again. 😀
Apple released new OS updates a couple of days ago. No mention of any improvements to HomeKit.
I started with updating my iPhone first. I noticed a HomeKit automation where a scene involving HomePod appeared after disappearing several days earlier. I then updated the HomePod's OS. That's when I noticed the scenes that I had set up before and disappeared, appeared again. These scenes even appeared in the Eve HomeKit app where they never have before (or at least I didn't go looking for them there).
I then opened the Home app on my iPad (where I had not updated the OS yet). The scenes could not be seen. I then updated the iPad's OS. The scenes that had reappeared on my iPhone have now also appeared on my iPad's Home app.
This morning, one of the wake up scenes involving the HomePod playing a radio station started.
Happy Days? We'll see!
