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.

The answer is sometimes. And it isn't clear which should work and which won't. I suspect the issue here is that the shortcut needs to interact with the Roomba app, which won't be installed on your HomePod.
