HomeKit thinks I'm at the wrong home

Hello all, I recently moved to a new home. As part of that process, I removed by previous Home in Apple Home and created a new one. However, I still have another Home in my Apple Home app (my parent's house). Since moving, Apple Home seems to think I'm at my parent's house as it shows the little location icon next to their Home name.

When I try to control accessories, it is attempting to control devices for their home and not mine.

Question: How can I set my address/location for my new Home so that it knows that I'm there?

You can use home page of the Home app to switch homes. Tap the small circle top right with the three dots and select your current location. You can toggling location services off in each home, and try turning off the option for automatic home switching, then turn all those options back on again and see if HomePod makes a better attempt at working out which home you want to control. I cannot promise this will work however, I'm in my office at work, but Home keeps want to select my home. Then again I don't have any accessories set up at work other than a HomePod mini, so it could be that.
