Homepod Mini not pinging Iphone

When attempting to ping my iphone from my homepod mini, it tells me I need to go to the find my app. Ping my iphone has worked for years and now it doesn't. I have reset all findmy, sharing settings, reset homepods to factory settings, reset router, etc...

This has been going on for a couple months now, very frustrating.

HomePod not recognizing iPhone I have had an issue with my HomePod minis ever since updating to iOS 16. When asking Siri to find my iPhone or find my Items, it responds with “Your iPhone is not available. Check if it’s powered on and the software is up to date.” This seems to occur randomly and not with every HomePod at the same time. Right now one of three HomePods is doing this. The others are fine. I will note that I’m not the primary user. I’m a resident with editing access. The only thing that seems to get it working is: reset HomePod and remove from home delete myself from the home and re-add myself add the HomePod back to the home obviously I can’t keep resetting the HomePod every time Siri has an issue. It’s become very frustrating. Other troubleshooting I’ve done: my iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network the HomePod is connected to the internet, other requests like play music, asking for weather, etc. work personal requests is turned on for all HomePods tried resetting network settings, which did nothing tried signing out of iCloud on my iPhone and signing back in, that did nothing tried restarting both the HomePod and my iPhone, also did nothing

HomePod continually says it’s not on the same network as my iPhone When I ask HomePod if I have a message or to find my phone, it continually tells me that it is not on the same network. I have only one network in the house, and when I check, the iPhone is connected to it and the HomePod is connected to it. I also check My Spectrum app and both are shown as connected. Can someone tell me in simple terms what the problem is?

Why does HomePod Mini never work properly? “I’m having trouble finding your Wi-Fi “? The network has never changed nor has the password! I spend too much time trying fix all “!” In the app what a missed opportunity. Why does HomePod Mini never work properly? “I’m having trouble finding your Wi-Fi “?
