HomePod can’t see any HomeKit accessories Hello there, I have a HomePod mini, and I setup 3 smart plugs connecting to HomeKit. It has been around 6 months since I got it, and it’s been working fine, controlling the plugs with ease. On morning though, I ask my HomePod, “Hey Siri, turn on the lights.” It replies by saying that it doesn’t see any HomeKit accessories. I tried to unplug it and plug it back in, and it still says that. When I go into my iPhone or iPad, I can easily go into the app and control the outlets. I have updated my iPad to iPadOS 15.1, and there is no available updates for the HomePod. Thanks for any help in advance!

HomePod does not show up under my Home App. HomePod plays music, but it is not showing up in the Home App. Tried adding it within the Home App by hitting +, but nothing works to add it. Tried resetting, so that I could go through the reconfiguration process again, but when I held my finger on top of the speaker and waited for the reset message, I got nothing. Any ideas?

HomePod uselss I have tried everything to re-establish connectivity of my HomePod to my iPad or iPhone. It will play random music but I cannot control what it is playing. Airplay does not work from any device including Mac. All devices are on the same wifi. Basically other than asking Siri a question, the pod is useless to me. I have tried removing the device and re-setting it up. Apple forums instructions to restart the HomePod does not exist in it's menus as the instruction states. At a total loss and to how not just now use this as a paperweight (if I used paper)?

There is no code. Try the set up again but make sure your phone is unlocked first Or you can try restarting your phone.
