Before I get into this, disclaimer, I am normally on the side of Apple and can forgive all of the limitations, the Apple tax and sometimes backwards moves they make because of how good being in the ecosystem has been for me forever.
Since getting a HomePod mini in December I have enjoyed having what to me, is a good quality speaker, integrated into the software on all my devices.
Two minutes ago, I asked it to play music.... "I'm sorry, I'm having trouble connecting to the internet". Other times I'll be playing music and it will just suddenly cut out, but my iPhone says the track is still playing. The "Restart HomePod" within the Home app does nothing. It is not able to control the device at all properly.
I bought some Belkin SmartPlugs for lights as well... the amount of times these will work perfectly fine via my iPhone directly on the HomeApp, for the HomePod to struggle...
Siri on it is a cruel joke. Why is it so hard for something with a relatively decent if not over powered chip, to do such a simple job as this?
Am I doing something wrong with it?!
