Home pod mini only blinks orange out of the box.

Yes it’s not right

Orange flashing light

HomePod mini is updating software while connected to a Mac, or is plugged into a power adapter that didn’t come with HomePod mini and isn’t rated 20W (9V ⎓ 2.22A).

See Identify status lights on HomePod - Apple Support. You need to use the supplied adaptor.

Strange, it’s supposed to be a 20W power adapter
