HomePod mini stuck on 'configuring'

I have 2 minis in my Home already with no issues. I have tried adding 2 new additional ones and they are both stuck on 'configuring' status. I have tried creating a fake 2nd Home and was able to add one there without issue (configuration finished, verified software is 17.3). I then removed the fake Home and tried to add it again to my primary home - no luck - stuck again on configuration in Home. When I bring my phone near them they prompt me to Setup again every time even though I have done it.

Homepod mini stuck on configuring I have been trying to set up my homepod mini for half a day now and nothing is working. It is just stuck on configuring. I have tried factory reset multiple times. I have tried removing it from my iCloud. But no luck I searched on the community if there were any solutions, but all the ones I tried didn't work. My homepod has worked on 2 different networks. Now this is the 3rd time moving it and it's not working anymore. If anyone has any solutions please let me know. Thanks

HomePod mini, a year later and still broken Hello all My apologies for a lengthy description, but by mentioning all issues I hope it will be easier to find a solution. About almost a year ago I’ve bought a HomePod mini, to this day, I still have it “configuring”… Home app doesn’t work, when I try to change HomePod related settings they return to previous value or throws error with title “Could not change settings” and description “Make sure you’re connected to the internet and try again” Others cannot add me to their home, as I’m invisible or don’t have an iPhone I’m using iPhone 11, both devices are with the latest updates. Also, I’ve restarted both devices countless times in the past year and have tried all the things I’ve found on the web… Please help 🙃 Cheers

HomePod won't connect to anything My HomePod simply stopped connecting to any other device. I rebooted it a dozen times, then finally I removed it from Home app, but now I can't add it again when I approach my phone to it. Apple went from seamless to cumbersome, frustrating, and obnoxious. It's sad that I have everything Apple, because now getting rid of these awful products is a nightmare--at least they are smart to trap you into their Universe. Simply everything Apple I have has some kind of issue in one way or another. The good news is that now I have a $400 decorative piece in my living room. Thanks, Apple!
