HomePod Setup Error -6700

The Home app on my iPhone was showing the “Not Responding” message on my HomePods (both) and Apple TV. I removed them from the Home app and then manually factory restored them. Now I can’t set them up again because they‘re showing “Setup Failure -6700”.

For the device that failed to work have you considered these?

On the iOS device that you use to set up HomePod, make sure that you signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID and turned on iCloud Keychain. You also need to have two-factor authentication set up for your Apple ID.
Make sure that your iOS device has Bluetooth turned on and is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.

Is your Wi-Fi set up with WPA/WPA2 and with any client isolation feature turned off? Check the prerequisites in the Get started section of Set up and use HomePod - Apple Support.

Thanks, I’m going to confirm that. Although, I tried to setup one of the HomePods with my work iPhone (with a different iCloud account) and it went through flawlessly.
