HomePod doesn't connect with Hue

Trouble shooting help?

My HomePod is very spotty with Philips Hue. Sometimes it has "difficulty connecting to your devices." Other time it says it can't, but 20 seconds later the lights come on. Most of the time it doesn't work at all. Homekit on my phone works, but not on the HomePod.

What I have done so far:

Reinstalled HomePod and Home Kit and Hue

Unplugged Alexa

Reset Hue dock

...and yes, my wifi works fine during these tests. Curious if others have the same problem.

Thanks!

Homepod not working with Hue lights after router reboot I was away from home for 2 weeks. Upon returning I asked Siri via the homepod to turn on some lights and it worked. I then rebooted my router and now I can't get the homepod to turn on any lights keep getting "Some devices didn't respond". The Homepod is version 12.4. I tried unplugging the homepod with same result. Removed and reinstalled Homepod and still getiing 'some devices didn't respond'. Lights work fine on the Home app on my Iphone. Also works on the Hue app.

Homepod and Hue This is my second HomePod, had to resend the first one back due to network/HomeKit issues. I have over 50 Apple products from Apple dating back to the 80’s. an ImageWriter, iPhone X, Mac SE, Newton 2000, and many many more. I have had more issues with the HomePod than every Apple product combined. The first HomePod connected to my Philips hue. The new one I just received will not. I have reset the router and hue bridge. It shows up on my HomeKit but my HomePod does not recognize them. I can place them in a room. But still when I say “hey Siri, turn off dining room lights” it does not recognize the command. Any ideas???

HomePod not recognizing Homekit Devices For the past couple days my HomePod has stopped working with Homekit. I will ask it to turn something on or off and it will reply that I have nothing set up in my home and need to set up via the Home app on my ios device. All commands work normally from my iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch/ Apple TV. So far the only solution that works is to unplug and plug the HomePod back in, however this only works for a few hours until it does it all over again. All devices are updated to the latest software & firmware. HomePod worked flawlessly until a couple days ago, no other changes have taken place that would Impact it.
