What issue? There is no issue with HomeKit. Just Works.
Lol no it doesn’t. I can no longer say hey Siri turn off the living room tv. Broken. Hey Siri turn off the living room lights. Broken. Hey Siri set the upstairs temperature to anything. Broken. Everything is broken in HomeKit for iOS 15 since launch. Where have you been. I have my whole house in HomeKit and as soon as I updated to iOS 15 it all broke. I just spent 2000$ on a new LG tv that worked with Siri until I updated to iOS 15. iOS 15 has a broken HomeKit. I am so angry I spent all this money and everything worked perfectly in iOS 14 and iOS 15 broke everything I spent my hard earned money in and was so awesome when it worked. Now not so much.

Last night I asked HomePod to play In the Long Run by the Eagles. This is what it gave me instead:

For many of us we get “hang on… still working… hmm, this is taking a while” etc. for ages even though the scene has been set immediately.
Exactly. Still happening in 15.2
Incredibly disappointing.

Strange, no issues here.
Please have Siri run a scene and report back.
