HomePod Siri cannot set timer on HomePods since 15.4

Hello since HomePod OS 15.4 I cannot set a timer on my HomePods (original and mini). Siri is responding that it is taking some time and afterwards said something was wrong. Everything else is working.

Mine still works. Apple has been having some service problems recently. Your experience is probably temporary.

Restarted your HomePod?

I’m having the same issue with Homepad this weekend… and also realizing there’s not much else I use it for (besides music). Might as well be any other Bluetooth speaker right now.

Open the problem HomePod in the Home app, go to Settings, and create a timer manually. You may find the other Siri timers then appear. If they do, delete all timers from there and it should be good moving forward.

I did have the issue before I updated mine to 15.4. It kept loading, and loading, although in the end it did finally manage to do its job. But after I updated it did work normally again. However, there was something else where even after updating it failed to work, but restarting the HomePod fixed it from then.

Thanks! This seems to have worked. I didn't have any timers that I *couldn't* see, but deleting the multitude of existing timers seems to have solved the issue for now. (But now I have a new gripe: How awkward/laggy must it be to delete multiple timers via the Home app? ?)
