Home App will Not Update Architecture

Restart all HomePods, in fact restart all devices and try again.
Oh and also, are you sure all of your HomePods have updated to 16.2?

Yes. I even verified via iCloud. The only thing that shows as a hub that wasn’t updated is another AppleTV I have.
Trying to update that first before rebooting everything to see if that’s what’s causing it despite the error messsge.
Will revert back when the update is done.
All (hub) devices have to be on 16.2 so updating that ATV should address the issue you are having.
Doesn’t address the issue.
I have everything in my house updated and I still get the error that I need to update my HomePod mini and then it tells me there is no HomePod mini update.
I found what I think is *my* problem anyway, and it’s kinda weird but - it worked.
As always, YMMV
I have a second home that was also set up in HomeKit, all that home had was Hue lights.
I had already removed it from my Home app - it didn’t show in the app itself.
However in the “Home settings” the other house still showed up - even though it was not selectable in the app itself.
So I removed the other house from Home Settings and then I was able to do the upgrade.
Also - I had found this earlier, it didn’t seem to fix the problem but I’ll mention it here - I also had a really old AppleTV showing up on my iCloud, but we don’t use it anymore. It’s literally in a box in the closet. But iCloud showed it as on OS 15.4.1 and associated with my account. I removed it from my account. That didn’t fix the problem - but who knows.
Ultimately it sounds like two things:
The “upgrade” is *really* picky.
The error messages erroneously say HomePod updates needed when maybe it’s not actually the HomePod that needs an update.

So it’s reported to Apple now.
I had a second home on the app, but no devices in that home. I didn’t have any old devices on my iCloud so, for me, it was purely the fact I had a second home listed.
My Apple TV HD works as a Homepod, and even though it is updated to 16.2, it doesn't support Matter, so could that be an issue?
