Set custom volume in a scene doesn’t work

I have a scene that starts music on 2 HomePods mini in 2 different rooms.


The scene starts a specific playlist and set the volume to 10%, although, the volume gets set properly only on the HomePod from where I start the scene, the other HomePod starts playing with the previous set volume.


Is it how it should work? I was expecting to have both HomePods set to 10%

Hello alias83,


We'd like to see if we can help you with your HomePods.


The steps below are the steps for creating a scene. Let's go through them and ensure that both the scenes you created are setup the same.


"Create a scene

With scenes, you can control multiple accessories at the same time. Create a scene called "Good Night" that turns off all of the lights and locks the front door — all at once. Or set a "Morning" scene that plays your favorite playlist on your HomePod, Apple TV,1 or AirPlay-enabled speaker.
