I have my TV set with an Apple TV HD connected to it and 2 Homepods in stereo. The HomePods turn both the Samsung TV off and Apple TV HD but I have to use the remote to switch them both on. The Hompods only turn the Apple TV on not the Samsung. How can I get Siri to turn them on via my HomePods? Or can. I make a shortcut. They would turn them. bot on automatically before it was updated.. So can someoe show me a custom shortcuts app please.
 
does your TV support HDMI-CEC?
if not, you probably won't be able to turn it on using the appleTV.

you also might want to check settings on the aTV, updates sometimes change things on their own.
