Removing HomePod from Home App

One of my two full size HomePods has a problem which Apple is repairing or replacing under warranty. It was one of two in a stereo pair in home theatre mode with my ATV 4K. To remove the HomePod from the configuration I first set my ATV audio back to using the TV speakers and then unpaired the two HomePods. Finally, I removed the faulty device from the Home app. Now, the HomePod no longer shows on the Home App screen but there is a notification in the top left corner telling me that the removed HomePod is not responding. I can't seem to get rid of this notification. Everything seems to be working properly other than this. How can I clear this notification?

Must be because it’s still signed in with your iCloud / Apple ID

See if you can remove it by going into your Apple ID on your iOS device, scroll down to your list of devices tap > Remove it. Make sure you don’t remove the wrong one.

if you aren’t sure which one it is you can identify it by the serial number. You can view your serial number on the other one in the home app via HomePod settings.

If you cannot locate the device to remove it you may need to reset the Home and then set up again from scratch.
