Different (Wrong) Volume Level on Multiple HomePod Minis

I have 4 HomePods mini set to 2 stereo sets. One set in bedroom, one set in livingroom.

I have an automation in Home app to play my selected playlist.

I choose both sets to play.

I set my volume level in automation. There is a only one slider for whole automation. So I would expect all HomePods mini to play same volume.

But they are not. One set plays louder then other one.

How do I make all of them to play same selected volume level?

I have tried to reset them all, to delete and make new automation, but nothing works.


I just do not understand, why there is such poor management if you have more then one HomePod.

Why I cannot set every HomePod solo in one automation?

Why I cannot stop playing one set and start playing other set in one automation?

I cannot see why there is so little attention to Home app from Apple.

The volume slider should apply to all of them, as expected. Currently HomePods are on the latest AudioOS 27. Make sure you have updated all HomePods to the latest version. If any of these HomePods are connected to an Apple TV, make sure the Apple TV is also updated.
