[PS] @ismh , not sure why I cannot drag screenshot x directly into all MPU post. It has been working in the past. Not sure other have this issue. I have this error. I have to drag this from my desktop instead
Came across that article after the post I made. No luck based on the suggestions.
I was able to get 1 online, the other 2 are still not functioning. I tried the same steps on all 3.
This keeps happening to me frequently on all of my HomePods and HomePod Minis. Like already mentioned, “it fixes itself”.
Other issues with “Siri” on my HomePods (not always, but quite frequently) - everything happening in immediate succession without any pause:
“Hey Siri, play WDR 2.” (Radio station). - Siri: “Playing WDR 2 by Tune In.” Directly followed by: “There is an error with Apple Music.”
“Hey Siri, play WDR 2.” (I repeat the request at once.) - WDR 2 starts playing.
While playing: “Hey Siri, set Sleep Timer 45 minutes.” - Siri: “I can only do that while something is playing.” … And WDR 2 is playing along.
“Hey Siri, set Sleep Timer 45 minutes.” - Siri: “OK, I will stop in 45 minutes.”
It does not matter if it is a radio station, a podcast or music. It works, until it does not.
And this stuff keeps happening for months if not years. I do not see any improvement. It seems to work way better when using the iPhone with requests like that. Even when sitting in a noisy car while driving (without the sleep timer of course. ).
Everything above is translated from German, so it may actually be different in “native Siri English”.
It’s great, isn’t it? Yes it is.:
“And believe me: There’s much more to come. Moments to anticipate, enjoy, and reflect upon. Moments that will have us jumping up with excitement or at the edge of our seats, or that make us want to get up and dance. Moments that can create lasting memories and bring us closer to one another.”
(Yes, I am not 100% fair, I guess, but it did fit so nicely. )
I’ve had this issue on and off for a while with a mix of both OG Homepods and minis. Rebooting the router seems to work so I suspect in my case it’s that the IoT devices are on a separate VLAN with it’s own SSID from the Homepods (with the necessary firewall rules to allow things to work properly 99% of the time).
(Annoying music playing)
Me: Hey Siri, play something different
Siri: Okay, here’s Something Different by Adekunle Gold
Me: Hey Siri, play something else
…
(Song isn’t bad, but not what I intended every time.)
