Find my iPhone will not connect - it does show my phone as being at my home- it will not ding or ring as it’s been a couple of days and I’m sure the battery is drained. I’ve searched to no avail, Is there a way to find it?

Your lost iPhone has to be able to make a connection to the internet and then report its location through the Find My app. If the battery is dead by now then you will not be able to find it through the Find My app because your iPhone will not be able to report its location with a dead battery. What you are seeing is the last reported location (Your home) before the battery was drained.

At this point, your only choice is to look for it physically.
