Hi all

Have an issue with my homepods at the moment.

I currently have 2 x Stand Alone Standard HomePods and 2 HomePod Mini’s which are in a stereo pair.

I always found that Siri is either too loud or too quiet at the start of the day, so I decided to use volume automation during the early hours to adjust all my HomePods to the same volume.

To do this I firstly asked Siri to adjust volume everywhere to 75%, then set up a volume adjust automation for all the HomePods to set at that level (which is the default when set before setting up the automation) during the early hours so that when I wake up in the morning all my HomePods are at 75% volume for Siri.

I tested the automation in the home app and indeed all the volume levels in each room were set at 75%. However when the automation has run some of my HomePods are at 65% and some are at 75% as the automation instructs them to do.

Not sure why this is... any help would be appreciated.
