HomePod After 26.1, some HomeKit devices stop responding

[MTShipp]

After my 4 HomePod minis upgraded to 26.1, some of my HomeKit Eve devices have stopped responding to scenes and mark as No Response. When I check the HPM settings they are not connecting to my WiFi. I did a ChatGPT search and limited results show this is known to some folks.

I removed the HPM devices and readded.

Anyone else have this issue and found a fix?

Have you tried restarting your WiFi router?

Yes.
I ended up removing the HPMs from my Home and setting up again. I’ll see if that fixes them

I've run into AirPlay issues since upgrading to 26.1 on my Macs, as well as my HomePod, iPhone and iPad. In particular, AirPlay between my mini/MacBook Pro and HomePods no longer works. AirPlay between my HomePods and iPhone and iPad works.

I've un-paired my HomePods, reset them, re-paired, rebooted my Macs, disabled VPN, rebooted my router, etc., etc. Nothing works. Other folks are seeing this problem, including folks posting on Apple's support forums.

It did not fix it. My “Good Morning” and “Good Night” scenes still have devices failing to respond. I open the Home app and they show as issues. Without touching them, after a couple of minutes they become active and manually running the scenes then work.
