I have setup a Siri shortcut to turn on air conditioner by infraRed device controlled by Aqara home app. This Siri shortcut works well on my iPhone. However, I received error message when using HomePod Siri to execute the same shortcut. I have tried to reset HomePod and restart my router but encountered the same problem. Please advise any solution to this issue.
Hi TT2, thanks for your advice. I am using HomeKit and Aqara app to form smart system of home appliance and lightings. Using Siri in my iPhone to execute shortcut for home automation e.g aircon, tv, etc works well. When I added HomePod as the hub for HomeKit, this problem comes. It seems that HomePod has problem to recognise Siri shortcut set by iPhone. Siri shortcut is important to control electrical appliance which is not HomeKit compatible device, like my Samsung TV, LG air conditioner.
I am not sure if apple would notice this problem and come up with some fix on this bug. Many smart home users should encountered the same problem.
The shortcut likely fails because the Aqara app doesn't exist on the HomePod, so cannot be controlled via Siri shortcuts.
