I recently bought two new HomePod Mini's. Both setup, working fine for over a month. Woke up this morning, one of them won't connect. Isn't being found by Home app. Spent three hours troubleshooting. Keep getting Setup Failed 300254, but can't find any help on this error code. Thought plugging it into my MacBook and updating it would do the trick, but no.

Select Remove Accessory.
1. Reset HomePod or HomePod mini
2. Unplug HomePod or unplug the power adapter for HomePod mini. Wait 10 seconds, then plug HomePod back in.
