User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hello, my HomePod is playing music randomly. I tried setting the touch accommodation hold duration to the maximum, but the issue persists. Is it possible to completely disable the touch surface, please?

In the Home app, hold the HomePod > Settings and look for 'Touch to Control' (or Tap to Play) and turn it off. Also check Settings > Accessibility > Touch on the HomePod isn't enabled in the Home app, and turn off Handoff if it keeps starting music.

Check out the Lock Touch controls introduced in the new version of HomePod OS 27.2:
PS - I don't see the setting that was previously mentioned as Touch to Control or Tap to Play. Not sure where that information is coming from or if it is no longer available in OS 27.2.
