To be fair, I have no issues with HomePod or HomeKit, everything works as it should be.
That's good to know. I may restore, set up as new, and give it a go. I like iOS 12 and would like to stay on it, but my HomePod couldn't stay connected as is. Kept going to "No hubs connected." Any suggestions or ideas? I am grasping at this point, but I was hoping this wouldn't happen. For some reason, an old reset HomePod showed up in "standby", which I just can't explain.
