HomePod Sluggish after TVOS 17

Anybody’s HomePod/HomePod mini act sluggish after the TVOS17 update? Every time I trigger the assistant, she does not stay spinning till I am done saying my command nor does she seem to understand me anymore from a distance I have to be pretty close to the speaker. When I do a hard reset, my HomePod mini act perfectly for a few hours but later on difficulty repeats

HomePod mini, 17

Hi Artotture,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may have checked out and tried troubleshooting from If HomePod or HomePod mini isn't responding - Apple Support. If not, check that out and try any steps that you haven't yet.


If so, there might also be a HomePod update that works better with your newly updated tvOS. Try these steps from Update HomePod - Apple Support.


1. Make sure that your device is updated to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS
2. Open the Home app. 
3. Tap or click the More button , then Home Settings  > Software Update.
4. If there's a new update, select Update. If there isn't a new update, you can select HomePod to turn on automatic updates and get the latest software automatically when it's available. Software Update also tells you if your HomePod is already up to date, and shows you the installed HomePod software.


Kind regards.
