My Siri experience seems to degrade over time. Months ago all my lights used to respond individually. "Turn on the floor lamp in the living room" would turn on the lamp. Now that command turns on all lights in the living room. Last week my HomePod started responding with "uh-huh" within .5 seconds of it hearing "Hey Siri" well before it's given me a chance to actually say anything.
And then there's so much trouble with connecting to the internet or even setting an alarm. Like setting a timer needs to connect to the internet even when there are zero issues with my connection. Please give me a local DumbPod.
