Try creating a Home.app scene with the hue light and see if Siri on the Homepod works with the scene (Home.app "+" Add Scene...). There might be ambiguity with "dining room light" (although you would expect Siri to report this).
This is my second HomePod, had to resend the first one back due to network/HomeKit issues. I have over 50 Apple products from Apple dating back to the 80’s. an ImageWriter, iPhone X, Mac SE, Newton 2000, and many many more. I have had more issues with the HomePod than every Apple product combined. The first HomePod connected to my Philips hue. The new one I just received will not. I have reset the router and hue bridge. It shows up on my HomeKit but my HomePod does not recognize them. I can place them in a room. But still when I say “hey Siri, turn off dining room lights” it does not recognize the command. Any ideas???
