User level: Level 1 (4 points)Recently, when I ask Siri to turn on the lights, it says something like “Light not found in Home.” When I open the Home app, the outlets initially show “No Response,” but after a second, their status changes back to “Online” or “Working,” and Siri starts working again. I cannot see the homepod in the Home app either.
Why is that and how can I fix it?

Those "No Response" flashes usually mean the accessories are dropping off Wi-Fi briefly. Try this: unplug the outlets for 10 seconds, make sure your router is on 2.4 GHz for them, and restart the Home hub (HomePod or Apple TV). Also check Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Home is on. If the HomePod still isn't listed, reset it and re-add it in the Home app.
