I’ve only had my homepod for 12 hours, seriously love it, however there is one issue that bothers me, when I go in to settings so that I can use the HomePod as my primary speaker for appletv then it seems to lock out all other functionality, Siri will tell you , sorry I can’t do that, youhave to physically disconnect the HomePod either through your phone or appletv settings to get the HomePod to work again, retrieving music or any homekitoptions it seems. Kind of a big deal, Siri at the very least should know to disable the appletv connection if you request something else? Am I missing something? I have a feeling that most of the time I will be using this with appletv so I can’t even ask for weather
 
Is your HomePod running on the latest software? My homepod did that when I first got it but after a few updates I could have it connected to my Apple TV, use a voice command to do something else and then it would reconnect to my apple tv when I was finished. No disconnection needed.
