I'd settle for a siri that can at least turn the lights off properly.
Google assistant on the nvidia shield left Siri in the dust years ago. Siri can't even chain basic commands in your smart home, it can't retain any kind of context (e.g. dim the lights...a bit more).

- c-hendricks 14d agoI tried "turn off the lights in [room a] and [room b]" in the new Siri app and rather than Siri saying they can't do compound commands they just turned off the lights in one of the two rooms listed. So, progress? Any agent with the Home Assistant MCP hooked up can do it fine.

- dawnerd 14d agoThat’s the weird part. For me it used to work very well, then after some update it just stopped. Typical Apple.
- verdverm 14d agoSiri is Gemini now (Semeni?) so expect similar stories from both major phone OS providers going forward, since we have lost more diversity in the mobile market (seems anti-trustworthy to me)

- verdverm 14d agoI hate to do this, but I decided to "search" google for "gemiri" just to see, and was presented with --- AI Overview The term "gemiri" is relatively rare and can refer to a few entirely different things depending on the context. Tech Slang (Gemini + Siri): It is a modern, informal portmanteau used by tech enthusiasts on social platforms like X (formerly Twitter). It describes a hypothetical or user-modified pairing of Google's Gemini AI with Apple's Siri assistant. Medical / Cancer Regimen: In oncology, GemIri is a shorthand medical code for a combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of Gemcitabine and Irinotecan However I thought semen-eye was more clever

- prepend 14d agoI gave up on using Siri for my lights because 1/3 of the time it would get caught in a “who is speaking? Please go through the voice configuration to identify yourself.” This was frustrating for me as it always prompted “who cares? Just turn off the lights.” As well as would drive my parents and other guests batty.
- smelendez 14d ago> This was frustrating for me as it always prompted “who cares? Just turn off the lights.” I guess you should be able to create a bucket of low-risk tasks that require zero authentication, like letting your guests turn off the lights. I do get why they are cautious, though, because in some cases this could be a security risk, like a burglar turning off lights from outside the home.
- xattt 14d agoCan we continue it to be somehow room-aware?
- mulderc 14d agoI have used Siri for years and turning on and off lights has never been an issue.
- Machado117 14d agoJust today running latest developers beta, I asked Siri to turn on the coffee machine and it started playing some song instead. I found out later that I had named the switch coffee machine plug. Similar thing happens when I ask Siri to play my favorite songs and it starts to play a song named favorite from my library
