When I make a call on my HomePod I have to take the call on my iPhone

Hi, when I ask siri to make a phone call using my HomePod I am told to take the call on my iPhone not on my HomePod, is this the way it should work? Seems odd t me!

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Hi, just found this online,


When you're ready to make a call, ask Siri to call a name from your synced contacts list or dial a specific phone number by speaking the digits. If you're home when someone calls your phone number, your iPhone can be automatically directed to the HomePod by saying, "Hey Siri, answer my iPhone."
