Resolving HomePod / Apple TV issues

Tip: if you're having issues with an Apple TV failing to see a HomePod and the Apple TV is connected by Ethernet, unplug it, then do the hard reset of your HomePod. It's magical woo woo, but it's solved the problem for me twice.

After recent tvOS update HomePod pair doesn't stay connected. I have a LG TV with a soundbar connected. Also a HomePod pair. Prior to the recent (Jan23) tvOS update I had sound playing through the HomePods. Now if I select HomePod it stays connected for a few minutes and then want to revert the TV speakers. Even worse it plays through both the TV and soundbar with a slight annoying delay. Previously I had to disconnect the AppleTV from the internet and connect via wifi only. Reconnecting continued to work as expected. Playing through both the TV speakers and the soundbar is new. Any suggestions?

Apple TV loses connected status as HomeKit hub, HomePod mini takes over, resulting in slow automations and camera feeds. After buying an HomePod mini and installing, I found out my HomeKit was reacting very slow. After some research I noticed that my HomePod mini was connected and the Apple TV was standby. Alle devices are one the same WiFi/network connection. I deleted my HomePod and reinstalled this after resetting and it work perfect again. But after some weeks it has changed back to the old situation. Again my HomePod mini takes over. Does somebody had any experiences with this. And maybe had a fix? I tried removing both devices from a room, and also all in updated and logged in with the same Apple ID.

Homepod mini disconnecting from internet when connected to Apple TV Ok I have 2 homepod minis connected as stereo pair connected to the latest Apple TV4K ethernet. 1 patch before the latest one, i believe 15.2? it was working perfectly. After the latest update with the temperature monitor. The homepod loses connection to the internet whenever it is used as speaker. I can see it from my router page both literally disconnect itself from the internet and stays disconnected even when the Apple TV is off. I tried a factory reset on both of em and they work again. But after a few hours they disconnected again. Then I tried going to the appleTV setting and switch the default speaker to my TV again. And behold the homepods connect to the internet normally. I think theres some bugs with the latest OS hope you can fix it
