New iPhone not working with HomeKit

Due to a damaged camera I had to replace my phone this week. Now my HomeKit automations and shortcuts don't work. I'm sure this is operator error but I'm not sure what I need to do. Siri keeps telling me to set up the phone on the same network as the homepod which it already is. Help!

HomeKit not responding to request. I finally upgraded iPhone 8+ to an iPhone 12 Pro Max. The transfer from old to new successful with no issues just took longdue to iPhone update to 14.4. The only issue I had was with the "Update iCloud Settings" it would just spin and spin. Restarted phone and a few tries later it worked and the notification was no longer showing on the Settings. The issue is my requests to Siri are not working. She states to "Check your settings in Home App" but she doesn't say what to check. I have a HomePod, Apple TV and and a new iPad Air for hubs. I also have 2 family members on my Home. Any one have any idea what is the issue and how I can correct? Thank you in advance!!!

Siri not finding HomeKit items Within the last month or so Siri has been acting different. Before I could say "Siri turn on Garage Lights" and she would turn on the garage lights, both from my iPhone or HomePod. Now I get "Sorry, I wasn't able to find anything like that in your ..... home this time". But if I say "Turn on Garage Light" or "Turn on Garage" then she turns on the lights. Its like a plural thing, she hates that I say LightS instead of Light. My switch for the lights is located in the room labeled "Garage" and is listed as an Accessories with the label of Lights. Now this is not just the Garage Lights, it is for all my lights. If I say turn on Kitchen Lights, no go. But if I say turn on Kitchen or Kitchen light it works. Also my garage door opener. If I say Open Garage Door, no go. But if I say open Garage it works. This was not doing that a month ago, I am giving Siri the same commands I gave it a month ago, nothing has changed. Same thing on HomePod and iPhone and iPad. This is frustrating, anyone knows what is going on? Thank You, Daniel

Widen you got your new phone did you reset HomePod and set it up again with the new phone from scratch? You need to do this, Reset HomePod - Apple Support
