Using Shortcuts to play Ambient Sounds on HomePod
I cannot figure out any way to automate playing Ambient Sounds on HomePod using Shortcuts. Can anyone suggest what I'm overlooking?

Hello spakov,
We understand that you're looking to play ambient sounds on your HomePod. Currently they are only available through Siri commands asking it to play Ambient Sounds as listed here: Play audio using Siri on HomePod - Apple Support
You can play background soundscapes when you need to focus, relax, or fall asleep. Listen to rain, forest, ocean, white noise, night, fireplace, or stream sounds.
- Say, for example, “Hey Siri, play Ambient Sounds” or “Hey Siri, play forest sounds.”
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!
