HomePod "this accessory is not responding" in home app
Hi,
I have a HomePod in my living room which I've set up according to the instructions. However, after the setup, the HomePod can't connect to the Home app. As in, it shows up there after it's been setup, but when you tap on the accessory, the error appears "This accessory is not responding".
I have the HomePod since June and I haven't been able to connect to the HomePod from the Home app. After resetting it to its factory settings multiple times, removing it as an accessory, and removing/reinstalling the Home app altogether, the problem persisted and persists until this day.
I was hoping with iOS 12 this problem would be fixed, but no such luck. I wanted to update the HomePod software as well, but of course the only way to do this is through the Home app.
I recently moved abroad which leaves me unable to get in touch with Apple support about this, since the HomePod isn't sold in my current country.
Anyone experience this or gotten Apple to help them fix the problem?
Sincerely,
- Arthur
