homepod won’t set timers anymore

Hi Bill,

Just got a report that my report is seen as a duplicate issue, which means more developers have filed a similar bug. Now it's just a matter time for Apple to make a fix and rolling out an update.

If you have time please fill in the form to report an issue

Feedback - HomePod - Apple

if more of us complain, they may do something about it 🙏

Power cycle the device, then try again. I'm always setting timers and they work fine for me.

Mine does the same thing and it was before the update, I’ll ask to set a timer and it says “ I can’t set timers for a specific time, would you like to set an alarm instead?” Or it says ”hmmm, just one sec...”

a minute later ill ask again and it does it no problem. Or it says you already have a dinner timer would you like to replace it?”. After it just ignored this dinner timer!

It is indeed frustrating.

We should send feedback

Obviously I tried that already. I have 2 HomePod speakers, I only have issues with one of them. The Bug Report is already drafted, I only need to create a sysdiagnose file once I'm back home, and attach it to the bug report (as Apple developer). (This will solve the issue faster than reporting it through feedback).

Same thing here! All other Siri commands seem to work fine!

I’m actually going to file a bug report at bugreport.apple.com

Cool.

I've been having the same problem for a couple of weeks. Really annoying as can't use it to set timers in the kitchen anymore. Other Siri commands are working fine.
