automation options are greyed

Simply trying to set it so HomePod starts playing at X time and pauses at X time everyday. I use the home pod, go into automation and all the options are greyed out. All software is completely up to date.

I’m not using any automations, but I see choices on what I could with my Philips Hue lights, which are the only smart accessories I have. The HomePod just serves as a Hub; It’s not an “accessory” you can control.


EDIT:

Perhaps with iOS 13 it may be possible
