Hi, Removing the HomePods is not necessary for restarting. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my original instructions. Do the following to restart the HomePod or HomePods:
1. Go into the Home app on your iPhone or iPad. 2. Double-tap the Edit button. 3. Double-tap the HomePod or HomePod pair. 4. Swipe to down near the bottom and find the "restart" button and double-tap. You don't really get any indication that it is restarting, but it/they are. Removing also will work, but the "Remove" action requires you to setup the HomePods all over again. This would be a next step if nothing else seemed to work, but not specifically needed. HTH. Later...
