HomePod Homepod Set Up Pop not coming on iPad Pro ?

[marcusalwayswins]

Hi Guys,

Need urgent help. So I am trying to set up my Homepod using my iPad Pro which is on lastest software I reset the Homepod and after the initial three beeps the white light keeps flashing on the top, the flashing white light which suggests that it is ready to be paired, but I am not getting the set up pop up on my iPad Pro ? What could be the reason ? When I went in my Home App it shows the Homepod which is greyed out and it says No Response ?

What should I do ?

Have you got Bluetooth turned on?

Is your iPad close enough to the HomePod? When I set mine up with my iPhone, I found that my phone had to be literally overtop of the HomePod while it was ready to pair and then the popup showed up.

While I was doing this set up exercise through my iPad Pro I did not have the Bluetooth on, on my iPad Pro ? is it required ? is that the reason the set up pop was not coming in my iPad Pro ?
