Cannot figure out how to control Speaker Volume via Siri

[anthonysnyder]

Describe The Bug: No matter how hard I try, I am unable to get Siri to recognize the Volume Device for my Zones.

To Reproduce: Based on Screenshot below, I would expect to be able to say: "Hey Siri. Set Backyard Volume to 75%". When I do this, I get "Sorry I do not understand"

Expected behavior: I would expect that using this Siri command would change the volume on that Zone.

As I finished typing this, it dawned on me, I wonder if I can say "Hey Siri, Set Backyard Fan to 75%" this DID work.

So I THINK this issue is more HomeKit related.

BUT, Siri does recognize "Hey Siri, Turn On Backyard Speakers" , which means it SHOULD be able to recognize the fact that I renamed the Fan to Volume in the same way that I renamed Zone 2... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's a Siri language processing issue. They think this is a fan device, not a speaker. It's looking for an airplay speaker or a HomePod and it can't find that type of HomeKit device.
