Annoyingly it still doesn't seem to have the update popping up for me, despite the phone being iOS 17 now..

Reboot your phone and check in Home Settings again

Yah did that based on the above post but nope. It seems to not like working together too, 16.6 to 17. Ah well it’ll kick in at some point I’m sure

I didn't know there was a HomePod thread.

Has anyone else had an issue with the AppleTV dual HomePod setup where one of the HomePods doesn't mute or change volume with the other? Restarting them a couple times usually fixes it, but it never happened until last month.

Nope not for me, I would do a full factory reset

My Homepods are still stubbornly not updating, and when checking the update screen in the Home Settings it says they are up to date (16.6). Weird. I've reset the phone a few times now, and reset the homepods. Just update dammit!!

I have, several times, unless it's not the swipe to power down and then press side button to restart or some other thing?

Oh yes and it’s loving infuriating. Right speaker works fine but the left one won’t mute and stays at a constant level. Unplugged it (after several factory resets and reinitiations) and plugged it back in 2 days later and now it works again. Not to keen to upgrade AppleTV OS since it will probably gently caress em up again. Not the best product they’ve released. Just keep at it and by magic it might work all of a sudden.

Volume up + sleep button, slide to turn off? That's what worked for me.

It''s only been a day since I updated AppleTV OS, but the problem hasn't happened since. Hopefully the firmware update ironed out the issue. The problem wasn't even isolated to me, my parents had the same issue on theirs and they got their HomePods months before I did.

So my minis on 17 refuse to play a playlist for an alarm, and just plays a standard alarm tone instead. Anyone else have this issue? In the Home app, it shows I’m shuffling a playlist but won’t play it.

I have a HomePod mini that was acting annoying and connecting to the wrong wifi network so I did a factory reset and now it seems I can’t reconnect. I go thru the pairing process and it plays the chime and then the “setting up” pop up appears with a spinning wheel but it never seems to finish. Anyone have any suggestions?

This is on 17.3 beta which the HomePods were unfortunately set to do beta updates (I should not do this).

I'm the process of slowly replacing my old echo devices with homepods, my latest swap brought up a question. We have a "good night" routine on alexa where alexa turns off the lights and says a thing.

If I just say "Hey siri, goodnight", it just says good night, adding in a "good night" scene stops siri from making a randon comment, but does turn off the light and says that is executing the good night scene. Is there a way to turn the scene announcement off? That feels unnecessary.

Edit:

Bizzarely it just stopped announcing the scene on it's own so IDK what is real anymore :(

I got a HomePod mini on clearance, in Home it claims that I can use "Siri" instead of "Hey Siri", and that's enabled.
In practice though, I can only get it to respond the "Hey Siri".
Does anyone have any ideas?

It took a while before it started working for me. Check the firmware is up to date?

Also, where did you buy it clearance, and how much? I’d like a number more.

Officeworks was running them out for $69 in Western Australia.

It's running 17.4 now, I'll try yell at Siri a bit more.

YOU RESENT?
Did Siri on HomePods get dumber again recently? Walk into a room with the lights off, say ‘hey Siri lights’. This used to turn the lights on, no response.

Now it asks ‘do you want me to turn them on or off?’.

I turned the just Siri hot word back to “hey Siri” because I found just Siri to be insanely sensitive to the point that words like serious and surely were triggering the HomePod to just interrupt my conversations with “what, I don’t understand” constantly.

Yeah, this is something that changed with Siri recently. I've seen people complain about it in several places over the last month or so.
