HomeKit Native HomeKit TV's & iOS 18 - Power On Problem with HomePods?

[Vado]

Anyone else having problems with LG TV's or any other TV's with native HomeKit support since upgrading to iOS 18? My LG C1 OLED will no longer switch on via Siri voice control when using my 'Watch TV' scene via my HomePods.

I've tried restarting my HomePods and removed and re-added my TV in the Home app but it doesn't help, any other ideas??

The problems seems to be with using Siri via HomePods to switch on/off the TV. Using Siri via my iPhone with the same commands works fine.

The issue started with iOS 18.0 and was still present with iOS 18.0.1 and I've just upgraded all my Apple products to iOS 18.1, the problem appeared fixed for a short time but has now reappeared.

Anyone else having this problem?

have you rebooted your homepods?

I've had a few times where it partially stopped working like this, and reboot sorted it

Just tried a reboot off all my HomePods and it's still not working.

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone have any other ideas I can try to try and get this fixed??

Having done some more trouble shooting, I've narrowed this down to it being a HomePod Siri issue with HomePod Software 18.

I removed and recreated the scene within the Home app, running the scene within the Home app by pressing it's tile on screen works fine.

Using Siri on both my iPhone and iPad to run the scene works fine.

It's something two do with the running the scene using Siri on the HomePod is causing it to fail and not power on my TV.

Anyone else having the problem?
