Move HomePod to temp home

What do I need to do to move my HomePod between two homes? I’d like to keep all of the setup for my primary home, but also use it in my second home.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 13

Automatic device switching Hi, I'm thinking about getting a HomePod on Black Friday but am unsure if it has the automatic device switching like the AirPods Pro do. Please could someone clear this up for me? Many Thanks [Personal Information Edited by Moderator]

HomePods Stuck Configuring after 16.2 and move to new HomeKit framework Yesterday I updated all my devices to the latest IOS and macOS. They all updated (iPads, Apple TVs, iPhones, Macs, HomePods - minis, and OG). I then migrated to the new HomeKit framework. It seemed to work, but all my HomePods said "Configuring" for hours in the Home app. I left it overnight, only to find them in the same state this morning. This morning, I tried powering them off and on, and it didn't fix anything. I removed all the HomePods from my home and my iCloud account. I then reset and re-setup both an OG HomePod and a mini. Both remained stuck in "configuring status" for over an hour. Following some internet advice, I re-removed both from my iCloud and reset them. To reduce the problem's complexity, I unplugged all the HomePods except one mini. I restored it using my Mac to a clean new copy of 16.2. I set that one up. Now over an hour later, it's still "configuring." What next? I guess I could remove and reset all my Apple TVs too? I don't want to delete the home as that would be a huge undertaking on a WAG to re-establish. I'll do it if it's the only option, but I'm hoping another option exists. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Any ideas? I'll probably call Apple Support this evening when I have more time, but I suspect they will tell me to delete the home, which will be a bear.

You may be able to get it recognize the new network without making any other changes. Then do the same when you go back home again. This may be easier if your phone knows the other set of network credentials before you move the HomePod, but I don't know for certain.
