When setting an alarm on my homepod, Siri rejects the first request and when the request is repeated, turns on the alarm. It appears that the first request times out and then the second one finds the alarm and sets it.
This behavior has been consistent since version 16 was released and did not get better with 16.1. I have tried resetting the Homepod without getting any different results.
Suggestions?
Thank you for the suggestion. Rebooting the wifi, homepod and a factory reset of the homepod does not change the issue.
is anyone else setting alarms frequently using Siri and experiencing similar results?
Other Siri commands are not impacted, only alarms
I too am having trouble with alarms but half the time it says I’m not connected to the internet. A few minutes later it’s back to working. The wifi drops out on mine often. Other causes can be another one of your Siri enabled devices was trying to listen so it will cancel a HomePod request. Try putting iPhones or iPads face down or cover your Apple Watch to determine if this is the cause. I turned “hey siri” off on my MacBook due to this happening too often .
Alarms have been setting OK for me lately, but you might report the issue via Feedback - HomePod - Apple and hope that it is fixed in the next firmware update.

I’d suggest you try rebooting the wifi to see if this helps
Thank you. I submitted a request.
You're welcome. 🙂
