Siri doesn't know my home address

Whenever I ask Siri to "remind me when I get home" it says it doesn't know my home address.


However I have my home address entered into my contact info correctly... The address book entry I use for myself has both my work and home addresses entered in exactly the same format. Siri will recognise my work address fine (I can say "remind me when I get to work" and it works perectly) and will happily recognise other people's addresses too, but for some reason I cannot get it to use my home address.


I've tried all of the following:


- Deleting my home address from my contact card and re-entering it.

- Changing my contact card to someone else and then changing it back to mine.

- Saying "my house" instead of "home" (but I doubt this is the problem as Siri says "By the way, I don't know where your home address is" so it must know that I'm trying to use my home address, it just doesn't know what the street adress actually is).


Has anyone got any further advice before I try the Genius bar?

well, I too have set my own card in the Siri settings, and I also experience it working just fine when I say "... work," but siri claims to not know my home address.


has anyone experienced this problem having never used google sync? perhaps sync does something to the home address field that makes it unrecognizable to siri, and maybe also gets copied over when switching to icloud.


torshen: have you tried re-making your own card since switching to icloud? if so and it works, maybe this is a problem best addressed toward google?


edit: grammar

I had the same problem but eventually got it to work. The problem seemd to be in the address fileds. As Home in my contacts I had entered in the format


house number (followed by) street name,

area,

city,

county,

post code


When I removed the area listing and left the rest it immediately recognised my home address.


Seems to be working fine now.


hope this helps.


Cheers

I don't have an area section in my address, it just goes like this:


45B Streetname Road

Town

County

Postcode


That's it... I could try removing the county... Or removing everythign except streetname and postcode... Will have a bash later and see if it works (Can't do it now as I'm at work and everyone looks at me funny when I start talking to my phone 🙂 )
