Homekit automation with iPhone and/or iPad

Hi,


I have been using Homepod automation on Homekit for over a year for a clock radio alarm. It has been set to my Apple Music and the specific playlist I cal "Apple Alarm". The playlist has about 6 hours of music.


For the past month I have set the clock to the alarm time for the next morning and chose either Resume Audio or Play Audio and making sure that the Apple Music playlist was chosen...yet, the alarm starts on time and plays the first song in the playlist and then stops at the end of the song. I can no longer get the "App" to continue playing past the first song.


Has anyone else had this problem?


Thank you


Elliot


As I mentioned, for over a year I have had it play and until I tap the Homepod

Hi elazarus,


We see your alarm playlist is not playing as expected. We would like to try restarting all the devices involved in your HomeKit system for the alarm. This will help with the HomePod.


If HomePod isn't responding


Specifically this section.


"Open the Home app on your iOS device. Tap and hold HomePod, then tap Settings . Scroll down and select Reset HomePod. Then tap Restart HomePod. "


Have a great weekend!
