My Home pods are not discoverable in my Home app

Recently My home app was not allowing me to connecting my home pods to my family IDS so I chose to deleted the home pods from my home and then delete the home to redo it. Not that I have done this My Home pods are not discoverable on my home app but I can still play music to them via my Apple music. They also still respond to my voice.

Since the Homepods are not showing up in the Home app you probably need to reset them using the touch pad on top:

Reset HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support

You should then be able to use an iPhone to set them up again:

Set up HomePod or HomePod mini – Apple Support (AU)

They should then appear in the Home app.

Hi Darylcthompson,


If you haven't done so yet, make sure your HomePod is running the latest software version, since this can help with overall performance: Update HomePod

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.

A white spinning light appears on the top of HomePod while it's updating. The update might take some time. Make sure that your HomePod stays plugged in while it's updating. 

Regards.
