Donna,
I am deeply sorry this situation is so frustrating.
I also respect your personal choices for your personal enjoyment of what the Homepods provide for you. Hopefully others will provide a path not requiring you to reconfigure everything from scratch.
Downloading an older edition of the software seems odd indeed.

First of all, it appears that getting a full-sized one wouldn’t solve the 
problem.  In the discussions I saw on the internet, both devices were 
mentioned.  Second, when we’re in the kitchen, we’re usually also doing other 
things, so there’s no real need to spend the money for full-sized HomePod.

Ah, an understandable reason.
Thanks for sharing.
Curious why not simply getting a second full sized homepod would not work 
though?
Speaking personally if I ever reach that level of need, that they are not sold  
in pairs automatically will either insure I get them, or skip the process all 
together smiles.
but hey I sill play my music on a stereo.

We had one full-sized HomePod in the kitchen, which served as our primary hub, 
and another in the family room.  We decided that in the kitchen we could do 
with just a mini, and that would allow us to move the kitchen HomePod to the 
Family room and create a stereo pair.

,Donna,
I have a question.
what need motivated your adding this new homepod in the first place?
What in your current set up was no longer working to your  satisfaction leading 
to your needing a new option?
Just curious, especially given  this latest chapter.

Hi again all,

So, late last night I finally got my new Mini to download a more current 
software version by connecting it to My Mac and using Finder.  However, for 
reasons I can’t begin to fathom, it downloaded 17.2, instead of 17.4, which is 
what the rest of my Home is running.  I have my HomePods set to update 
automatically, so I figured I’d just set it up, and it would update 
automatically overnight.  But apparently that was too much to hope for.  
Instead, it made a wreck of my home in the Home app.  I have devices that have 
had multiple names, as I have moved them to different rooms.  All those devices 
reverted back to an older name.  And none of my accessories, other than the 
HomePods are responding.  Does anyone have an idea what happened or thoughts on 
a possible fix?  I’d really love to avoid deleting my Home and setting it up 
from scratch.
TIA,
Donna
