HomePod 2023: The HomePod just turns on by itself

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 05:02:19 -0700

My HomePod 2nd Generation switches on by itself, completely randomly. I also feel that the touch surface does not respond optimally — the minus (-) control is noticeably less sensitive than the plus (+). I have already tried a factory reset, unfortunately without success.

HomePod 2023: HomePod 2nd Gen Shuts off after startup (see video)

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 07:27:57 -0700

Initially, the HomePod would occasionally shut off during playback. I could temporarily fix this by unplugging it and plugging it back in after 10 seconds.

Hoping to resolve the underlying shutdown issue, I then performed a factory reset.

Now, the device is stuck in its factory state and shuts down every time immediately after the startup chime.

See video below:

HomePod 2023: What is the exact diameter (mm) of the rubber foot?

Mon, 01 May 2023 00:18:53 -0700

I'm looking for the exact diameter (mm) of the rubber foot of the second generation HomePod. I would like to no this because I want to design a speaker stand for the HomePod before I buy it. Thanks!
