HomePod stopped recognizing HomeKit accessories

Hello robheredia,

We note you're having issues with your HomeKit accessories when trying to adjust them via the HomePod, and we'd like to help out with that.

First, double-check that the HomePod is on the same Wi-Fi network as the iPhone/HomeKit accessories: Change HomePod settings

Then try power cycling the HomePod by unplugging it, and then plugging it back in after a minute.

Also try turning off all iOS and macOS device that you're using with the Home app, including the HomePod. Then, turn them all back on.

It can also help to try restarting the Wi-Fi router.

Take care.

robheredia,

Thanks for trying those steps out.

Are you getting any errors when trying to make the requests?

Also, try deleting affected accessories from the Home app on an applicable device, and set it up again. You can try testing this with one of the accessories, just to see if it helps, before proceeding with others. To set up the accessory again, some require restoring the accessory to factory settings. This may require locating a reset button on the accessory. You may check with the accessory's documentation or the manufacturer to see if that's the case.

If you continue to have issues, we'd recommend following up with Apple Support directly for further investigation: Get Support

Take care.
