iOS shortcuts using "Hey, Siri" on HomePod? Are iOS shortcuts supposed to work with "Hey, Siri" on the HomePod? For example, iRobot has added Roomba shortcuts. On my phone I can say "Hey, Siri, vacuum everywhere" and it starts my vacuum. I can see this new shortcut in the iOS Shortcuts app. It works, no problem. But, if I use HomePod and say the same shortcut phrase it tells me there's an error.

Siri on HomePod Mini answers when Im trying to ask Siri on my iPhone to do something specific to my iPhone If I want Siri to set an alarm on my iPhone and I am close to my HomePod Mini, Siri on the HomePod will answer and it will set the alarm on the HomePod. Sometime I set the alarm as a reminder of something in a few hours and I may not even be in the house when I need the alarm to to off. I know I can disable "Hey Siri" on the HomePod but that defeats the whole purpose if I keep haing to tourn it on and off all the time. Is there someway I can force a way to distinguish between them? or some other workaround? Can I turn down the sesitiviy for Siri on the HomePod?

Run 1 of my shortcuts from HomePod Mini via Siri Hi All, I'd like to be able to start my local radio (web, so via an URL) on my HomePod Mini, via Siri. I made a very simple shortcut that works fine when I click on it on my iPhone. However, when I ask Siri to run it ("Hey Siri, run my shortcut Première", Première being the name of the shortcut), nothing happens. Well, either nothing, or Siri starts a podcast that is basically named "Matin Première" (so quite resembling). Other commands via Siri work fine, so I don't see what prevents Siri from starting the shortcut. Can you please guide me? Thank you!
