HomePod HomeKit Not Working with HomePod?

[thomamon]

I can no longer get my HomePod to turn lights on or off or anything like that. It use to work, but not says it doesn't recognize anything like that.

Any suggestions?

You are not alone - see

HomeKit Is Very Laggy and Buggy

I don’t know what’s going on with this. Was very stable in iOS 12. It’s very laggy and then today all my devices are taking forever to update. Then when they do I get “no response” Freezes a lot too. I’d have to close it out and re open. Look at these pics where the camera row is...

Homepods are not mentioned in that thread but Homekit seems to be a disaster after recent Apple software "updates"

It working fine for me. Try switching off your homepod and make them sure that HomeKit recognised a hub. Make suet that you can control your lights via the native hub

Everything works fine from my phone

pull the plug on the HomePod, wait 10 minutes, plug it back in, test it.

I did reboot, but did not wait 10 minutes. I will try it.

And is it working again?

Do you also own Apple TV's? I've had problems a couple of months ago because for some reason the Apple TV's aren't doing a good job being a homekit hub. I disabled both Apple TV's in my home as a hub and since then everything works as a charm. (except when my ISP modem started acting up)

I am having the same issue. It used to work a few days ago, but it no longer does. Siri with HomeKit works on the iPhone and the iPad just fine.
i tried rebooting the HomePod, repairing it and so on. Nothing works.
