This is crazy behaviour. Is it hearing from another room or is it activating via the iPhone or iPad in the room you are in? If so it would seem that most users would have this issue. Can anyone else chime in? I am looking to buy one now but this seems to be an annoying flaw.

It is hearing from the other room (doors aren’t fully closed, and the HomePod mini has really sensitive hearing) and I guess for some reason decides that it’s probably the same room. This doesn’t happen when you have the other device active/unlocked. There is a mechanism to negotiate between devices which device should answer (you see the Siri symbol lighting up on all devices), but the logic seems to be half-broken (unfortunately a common occurrence with present-day Apple software).
