Hi! After update HomePod Mini to iOS 16 and later (currently 16.2) it is not executing any shortcuts created on iPhone 7 iOS 15.7.2. Every time when I ask to run any shortcuts (normally working via Siri in iPhone) HomePod Siri answer by a sentence: "I'm having a bit of trouble here. Please try again later."
Do you think that this function is no longer available because of iOS version differences?
Thanks a lot.
HomePod mini, 16
BranoB,
Thanks for following up. There have been updates to the new Home architecture with iOS 16, and based on the information below, what you're experiencing is normal as it relates to devices that are not able to update to iOS 16: Upgrade to the new Home architecture

We hope this answers your question. Best wishes.
Greetings BranoB,
You bring up a valid point about the difference in operating system versions with your iPhone 7 maxed out at iOS 15.7.2.
If the shortcuts are related to HomeKit, that’s where this will come into play. Could you confirm what the shortcuts are set up to do?
Thanks.
Hi,
HomePod doesn't have any problem to execute commands from HomeKit. Every smart device supported HomeKit natively such as lights, thermostat, outlets, etc. working without issue. Problem is that HomePod won't execute shortcuts from other apps. It is no more able to control shutters via BroadLink app, iRobot vacuum cleaner or Android TV controlled via IRCC commands. This 3rd party shortcuts commands sopped working after iOS16 on HomePod. However they are still working via iPhone.
