HomeKit New issue with Siri and volume control

[andylel]

Until the latest updates I was able to set music playing using Siri on various HomePods around the house and then set the volume to x% ‘everywhere’ or ‘downstairs’ or any other ‘zone’ I have set up in HomeKit. Now when I say ‘Hey Siri, set the volume to 15% everywhere’ it just says ‘Uh Oh, something’s wrong’.

Anyone else noticed this and / or been able to fix it?

not sure if it will help in this case, but at least on lights, in the most recent update, she lost the ability to figure out what you're trying to control. you used to be able to say "make the bedroom blue" now she can't figure out which devices you want to change, unless you actually say "make the bedroom lights blue" You know just in case you want to make a door lock turn blue or something😐

you might try putting "speaker" in you command somewhere, or maybe "HomePod"

Thanks. I have tried that with the commands and every combination but still no luck. I wish they’d leave things alone. I don’t mind improvements but stopping things working in the way that have before is might annoying, especially with non existent change logs.

I have the same issue and am seeing others with this problem as well after the 14.3 update.

Same here. 5 HomePods in the house and no longer set volume the same everywhere works. Happened soon after the last update.
