My homepod is saying i need to update to access in home app alarms but its at newest version

Hi, i am trying to set an alarm but my home pod is telling me to “Update HomePod speaker to view alarms and timers.” so i go “ok, no problem, let me go and update it” and it says “this home and all accessories are up to date.” and i have tried to research it but its like i'm the only person in this whole world who has this problem, so please help me i don’t know what to do and im really getting sick and tired of this.

I am facing this same issue. HomePod version is 17.6 and it’s still asking me to update. I can’t set any alarms from my home app on iPhone or iPad and I have to use Siri every time. This issue is annoying me for weeks and I hoped it would fix by itself

Another thing to try is rebooting your router and all HomePods/Apple TVs to reset which one is acting as the Home Hub.

Wow!! I can’t replicate this issue on any of my other homepod or homepod minis. Only my OG Homepod wants to do this.

This is a general network troubleshooting step, been done already. Do you know anything else?
