While not the most "mission critical" application, making basic Siri requests via a HomePod has never improved since the HomePods came out in 2018. Asking to do simple things like turning on a specific light via HomeKit, or asking for the weather, and having the request fail for some strange, unreported issue makes for a frustrating experience. HomeKit accessories in general have been extremely hit or miss, I had two Logitech Circle View cameras that constantly lost their network connection and had to be power cycled to get back online. I tried many things over the almost 2 years I had them set up in my house and nothing seemed to improve their connectivity. I replaced the indoor one with an Ecobee camera, and the outdoor one with an Eve camera, and haven't had any network issues since. I've seen similar behavior with "cheaper" HomeKit enabled light bulbs too. Certain brands seem to have major issues with connectivity, while others are 100% reliable. Maybe Thread will address this?
