For some time there are more and more problems with siri on homepod. At many simple commands, responds with: “One Moment“, “One sec“, “On it"But it does not take the action to the end. Whether it is a simple command to stop the music or turn on the lights in the room.
These issues are present only when orders for Siri are taken over from HomePod. When Siri receive orders on iPad, iPhone or HomePod Mini, everything works without problems.
I looked for several variants to solve the problem, and in the end I came to a good result. At least, at the moment, in my scenario, Siri works very well on HomePod (1st gen.).

When you set up for the first time Homepod, it connects to the Wi-Fi network to which iPhone or iPad is connected at that time. To change the Wi-Fi network to which it is connected and you have no problems with siri on homepod, follow the steps below (I made this change on iOS 16.4):
1. You connect with iPhone to the Wi-Fi network you want to connect HomePod.
In my case, I want to move the Wi-Fi connection a homepod on the network "Apple Network 5GHz” pe “Orange-Ntbd-5G“.
2. Open the application Home pe iPhone, you are pressed on the icon HomePod, then press on Accessory Details and roll down to the settings HomePod.
