HomePod mini stuck on "configuring" for days now.
Last week my one of my HomePod Mini's decided to just stop working. I've reset it, restarted it, reset it back to factory settings, removed it, powered it off for 2 minutes, the whole 9 yards. It's been working great for YEARS and now it just sit in the Home app at "configuring......" for 5+ days now. Siri and AirPlay were working during this time but now anytime I ask it to play a radio station I just get "sorry, I cannot connect to Apple Music"
I've restart the network a dozen times. Nothing has changed in the settings. For whatever reason, this device has just decided to stop working correctly. Googling has resulted in suggestions ranging from "keep restarting everything until it works" to "don't do anything and eventually after a few months it'll start working again....maybe".
So, Apple. What's going on? Should I just take a hammer to this thing? My kids' Amazon Echo Dots have been working just great for a decade now. Maybe I should just get one of those.
