User level: Level 1 (18 points)I have a HomePod (2nd generation) in the living room. I see it to play soft music overnight for my dogs, volume 11%. Last night, at 3:30 a.m., the HomePod starts blasting music at 100%. I use the HomePod mini in my bedroom to reset the volume. Night’s sleep: gone.
The same thing happened again at around 6 a.m. This happened once before, a couple of months ago. Does anyone know what’s going on? I’m not going to bother calling Apple Support because they won’t know.

It’s an issue that’s happening in some second generation HomePods and some minis. It’s being called “ghost touch”. As far as I know, it’s not an issue that Apple has acknowledged.
