Siri asking permission to run HomeKit Scene

Since iOS 16.5 Siri keeps asking permission to run HomeKit scenes.

when I say for example „hey siri shower“ it used to turn on the heating in the bathroom and confirm it did. Now it first asks „shall I run „shower“ scene?“ every time.

iPhone 12 mini

Extremely annoying Siri won't let me use other home control apps, forces HomeKit I bought some new smart lamps from a local company called I2GO. They have their own app for house automation, which integrates to Siri for enabling voice commands. After adding a shortcut for turning lights on by saying something like “turn all lights on”, doing it make Siri complain that I don’t have anything configured on my HomeKit app. I DO NOT WANT TO USE THIS APP. I DO NOT WANT SIRI TO FORCE ME TO USE IT JUST BECAUSE I’M SAYING COMMANDS LIKE “turn all lights on” OR “open my door”. I JUST WANT TO USE THE SHORTCUT THAT DOES WHAT I COMMANDED ON A DIFFERENT APP. I even tried uninstallking HomeKit, but Siri keeps trying to open it and I simply can’t disable that. Nothing I’ve tried worked. Is it even possible? I don’t want to have to say random things (that won’t trigger HomeKit) for the automations to work.

SIRI refers to Home app when I'm trying to run a Shortcut When I ask Siri to run a Shortcut to turn on/off my lights, it says it doesn't see anything on my Home app instead of running my Shortcut. How do I fix this issue? The Home app requires you to scan the QR of a device (and not all devices have a QR) which is why I resorted to Shortcuts for my lights. This is quite annoying! Hope someone has a solution to this :{

Hi jonathanfromhannover,

If Siri is not responding as expected, see if these resources help:

If it doesn't, Contact Apple Support or use this Get Support link for assistance.

Take care.
