Stop HomePods ringing when my iPhone rings even when I’m hours away from them

I am out of town about an hour from my house. My wife just called me and told me that every time my iPhone rings all the HomePods at the house ring. How do I stop this from happening? I have looked it up on the web and I’ve tried everything it said and some of the things it said are not even options on my iPhone help please. Thanks

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Thanks for your reply. As I have further tested this problem, the problem is when someone Facetime's me. It doesn’t happen when they simply call me like a phone call. I was mistaken on that. When I am Facetimed, the homepods also ring at my house, which at the time was one hour away from me. Any thoughts? When I go to settings on Facetime, (or phone for that matter) the options that the web tells me to use to stop it don’t exist, or if they do exist homepods are not part of the list. Also, with the homepods, I don’t see in settings anything the web says to use to end it as well. I don’t get that many facetimes except by family so it won’t be that big a deal but I’m just wondering how to stop it if I can. TIA
