Is anyone else having issues with timers not working on HomePods? I have a HomePod stereo pair, and 3 HomePod minis and timers don't work on any of them. I can't ask Siri for them, or start them manually in the home app on my iPhone. Everything else is working as it should.

I've restarted my network and the HomePods, but since it's happening on all of them, I don't think it's related to a specific HomePod.
 
Seems to work fine on mine. You need to be more specific about how you’re trying to activate a timer on what commands you are using and what is not happening

I try asking Siri, and I have tried using the Home App. I have not had trouble with them in the year I have had HomePods. Seems super odd that it's the one thing that is not working.
 
I was able to get this sorted. Someone on Reddit said that in some cases, after a network reset (like after a firmware update) HomePods can have connectivity issues. It looks like one of my minis was causing a timer problem with all the others. A reset of all homepods sorted it out... I hope.
