Ever since I have updated to iOS 15.3 my HomePod mini is saying that I don't have any accessories in my home when I do. Everything else works fine, Apple TV, iPad, iPhone and Mac I can see all my HomeKit accessories and control them but for some reason saying Hey Siri on my HomePod yields you don't have any accessories in my Home. I have reset all the HomePod mini's and I also restored them to a clean iOS version using my Mac. I can set them up again and there able to play music, weather etc... but nothing with my Home accessories. Also in HomeKit app there just constantly configuring. I have reached out to Apple support but they got no clue.

They said they have a "senior engineer" looking at it. They first claimed it was a configuration file I had on my iPad that was causing the issue but when we removed it and set them up again they still didn't work. They had me send logs from my iPad and iPhone. I do have multiple homes. I have 10 HomePod mini in my home and 2 at our cabin. All 12 are having the same issue so I know it isn't my Wifi. Has anyone come across with this issue? I am at the point I don't really want to rebuild the entire Home app from scratch. I did try creating another Home and adding a HomePod mini in that home but it yields the never ending configuring.

For someone like me who has trouble reading walls of text, can I suggest you maybe add a couple of paragraphs to that post?

Regarding your issue however I can’t help and I wish I could but all I can say is, along with many many others, HomeKit on the HomePod since 15 has been nothing short of an abortion. It is just a joke how bad it is. I don’t have the problem you have, even though I did a while ago but for some reason it rectified itself.

I just have problems with delays with everything regarding HomeKit on the HomePod. Please feedback on here if you do manage to get it sorted and hopefully some others will come along who can maybe point you in the right direction.

Do you add, the only other thing I can think of is maybe restart your Wi-Fi router? I know you shouldn’t need to but maybe worth a try?

experiencing the same thing with all mine. Also, it will create stereo pairs, but will show up as two different HomePods. its very annoying.
