Hi Superkrzy,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! From our understanding, you are trying to set up a HomePod but you do not have the Setup code, is that right? If so, you can go to the Home app on your iOS device, tap the + and select "Add Accessory". Once that window comes up. you should see an option right above the camera viewer that say "More options". After selecting more options you should see a list op accessories that are powered on and nearby. You can select your HomePod from this list and follow the onscreen instructions.


Check out the section titled "If the setup screen doesn’t appear automatically" in this article: Set up HomePod.

Have a good one!
