Post iOS 15 ALL 3 of my HomePods stopped working. I have a Scene named Goodnight been using for years. Now Siri from the HomePod says night night and does not run the scene. If I ask any of my HomePods to turn off lights it say “I looks like you havent setup any Home accessories. Please set them up in the home app”.

I have rebooted each of my 3 HomePods and 2 Apple TV’s to no avail. I have also rebooted my router. If I press the Siri button on my phone all works fine. All my Homepods and Apple TV’s show in the Home app and they can play music fine. If I ask them to call my wife it says to Turn on my iPhone and make sure it’s available.

This is nuts any ideas?
 
After updating to iOS 15 and subscribing to Apple Music, both my OG HomePodS gave a message of, "I'm having trouble connecting to the Internet" in response to Siri requests.

I removed both HomePods from HomeKit, set them up again using my iPhone, named them different names, turned off personal requests and turned off analytics. After things set up in a few minutes, I turned on recognize my voice and personal requests in my Home profile. For whatever reason this worked.

Note that I had been using Beta software on some of my devices.
 
I had issues making and receiving calls on every one of my HomePods after installing OS15. I would initiate on the HomePod but the call would only go through my phone. Selecting the HomePod in the menu didn’t work either. Specifically (not software reboot from the app) Unplugging and re-plugging after a few minutes fixed the issue.
 
Resolved: Had to reset 3 HomePod Mini‘s and 1 HomePod and rerun the setup for each device. All is good now.
