Siri saying “should I turn it on or off?”

Yes this new behaviour is super annoying.

I have this problem too - it's ridiculous:

• If I have, say, the study light on, I used to be able to say 'Siri study light', and Siri would turn it off, or turn it on it it was already off.
• Now if the study light is on, and I say 'Siri study light', she replies 'Should I turn it on or off'. If I reply on, well, nothing happens - because it's already on stupid!
• If I reply 'off' Siri rarely understands my 'on' or 'off' reply - most of the time she asks a 2nd time and then does nothing. Once in a blue moon she'll actually turn it on or off.

Siri knows the lights status (on or off) so asking is pointless - just do the action that is opposite to the current light state, otherwise why would I be asking Siri to do something!!

Same here so you will need to submit feedback: Feedback - HomePod - Apple

Yes! Same here. I can’t stand it. Use to be SOOOO much simpler before. PLEASE Apple change it back or give me an option to turn that off!

When this kind of stuff happens just shows how much Apple cares about HomeKit...

They don't.

Stocks falling with their delay into the AI market and they come up with a worst version of Siri.

i tried asking it, "is <devicename> on?" and Siri answers, "it's off."

it KNOWS the status of the device... but it still wants clarification about whether to turn the device that it KNOWS is off, on or off.
