Homepod responds to request to stop alarm yet doesn’t

Home pod when asked to stop an alarm with “hey Siri, stop” or “hey Siri, stop the alarm” will reply with “of course” and keeps playing my alarm.

Use a more specific phrase

Some HomePods ignore generic "stop" but respond to:

“Hey Siri, stop all alarms.”

or

“Hey Siri, stop the morning alarm.”

If your alarm has a label (e.g., “Wake Up”), then try:

“Hey Siri, stop the Wake Up alarm.”

This works for many users even when “stop” fails.
