HomeKit Is Siri unable to set homekit scenes for anyone else?

[zorinlynx]

I have a "Bedroom Soft" homekit scene, so I can normally say "Hey Siri, set bedroom soft" to set soft lights in the bedroom.

But this (and all my other homekit scenes) stopped working through Siri today. They still work in the Home app itself. Wondering if it's something affecting everyone or just me?

I have a similar issue. I used to be able to say “Hey Siri HomeKit Cooking” to set the scene “Cooking” but now she answers “Doorbell detects no motion in the outside” ?!?! (I do have a doorbell but it hasn’t changed recently).

I have found that if I use the word “scene” it often works - “hey Siri, set HomeKit scene cooking” but it’s still annoying.

Yet, other scenes like the built-in “Good Night” works flawlessly.

I just say the scene name. I've had to rename a couple so that Siri didn't get quite so confused.

For eg I have a scene called "Evening" which does stuff to my Philips Hue lights. I just say "Hey Siri, evening" and it works.

The only homekit item I have is the Philips Hue hub, which maybe makes it easier. Dunno.
