Turn off HomePod Beta Updates in settings, then restore the device? Reset HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support:


Reset HomePod or HomePod mini

  1. Unplug HomePod or unplug the power adapter for HomePod mini. Wait 10 seconds, then plug HomePod back in.
  2. Wait 10 seconds, then touch your finger on the top of HomePod and hold it there.
  3. The white spinning light will turn red. Keep your finger down. 
  4. Siri will say that your HomePod is about to reset. When you hear three beeps, you can lift your finger.

Similar situation, but, in trying everything I can to get my HomePod Minis to re- connect after they fell off, I removed them from home. I have reset them dozens of times, and I cannot get them to pair again... different iTunes accounts (within home/family) multiple networks, multiple iPhones, multiple iPads, various states of b e t a on the various devices, as far back as an IPhone SE on no b e t a and they never pair...


I wonder if downgrading them to non-b e t a, using a non-b e t a device to add them to home would do any different?


The only thing I haven't done, else, is delete my home, but I am apprehensive of starting that far over...


Open to suggestions... Thanks!
