HomePods no longer chime doorbell

I have a few HomePods and HomePod Minis, updated to iOS 15.1. Ever since updating to 15, my HomePods stopped chiming for the doorbell with my Logitech Circle doorbell. Even after updating to 15.1, the chimes do not sound, even after toggling the chime settings within the Home app. Does anyone know how to fix? Also worth noting, I’ve tried all the different combos of restarting HomePods, routers, and doorbell. Nothing worked.

I totally reset the HomePod Mini using the reset option in the HomeKit app. I set up the Mini and reinstalled it in HomeKit, then I rang my Logitech Circleview Doorbell. It worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice.

I have two logitech doorbells for a 2 family home, with each triggering their own homepod mini chime. Each homepod and doorbell is in its own HOME.


The unit 1 chime works great with the mini,


THe unit 2 kept dropping. I finally figured out the problem is that power cycling the MINI, for whatever reasons loses the doorbell connection. Family members were unplugging it and moving it around. If I reset it, then re added it to the home, it worked. I would try that -- just don't restart, actually reset it to factory settings then re add it.


This shouldn't be happening, so I suspect it is a bug somewhere. But it would be great to know if others are having the identical problem.

I was excited for a while, then mine dropped again. So while re-adding it solves the problem, something is causing it to drop again.


The interesting case for me is that the doorbell/mini/HOME combination for the first floor works just fine. It is only this second HOME/Doorbell/Mini combination that keeps having issues.


My next test is to see if the iPhone notification for the doorbell works even if they home hub mini is not chiming. My logic here is that the doorbell should work and notify the phone, regardless of whether the chime works or not. I can't recall if that was the case when the chime was not working. If the problem is that even the iPhone notification isn't working when the doorbell is pressed, then I will play around with the doorbell again.
