HomePod setup failed - no bluetooth

I should rephrase my question - the HomePod does not show up as an AirPlay speaker option from my iPhone, iPad Pro, or AppleTV. Any suggestions?

Make sure that your router doesn't have a wireless client isolation feature enabled. Can you AirPlay from your iPhone to your Apple TV?

It's not supposed to show up as a Bluetooth device. It uses AirPlay over Wi-Fi to stream music.

OK So to confirm

HomePod setup complete = Yes

HomePod showing in Home app = Yes

HomePod not showing as external source device in Airplay (From Control Center?. From Apple Music? Now Playing bar? Control Center widget? Lock Screen widget?)

It doesn't support Bluetooth audio believe it or not. 😐

The HomePod is the point of no return for Apple fans - The Verge

Hi,

Did you rename your HomePod after setup?

No, I did not rename the HomePod.

HomePod is a Wi-Fi connected device. It will not show as a Bluetooth device. Bluetooth is used for setup at this point in time.
