Error while playing a tts message via homepods - random playing homepods after the message

[Stothed775]

The problem

I already reported a problem a few days ago after I noticed that my homepods alternately just play something after I run a TTS automation that checks if something was playing before and then resumes playback after the message.
The Homepods then also played randomly if nothing was playing beforehand.

Now, after further testing, I have discovered that even without this check, if a TTS message is simply played, something is played randomly afterwards. This is very annoying.

A look at the logs showed the following error message.

Did a bit more Research - it seems like the status of the Homepods are not correct.

I found out, that the Homepods sometimes are in the status "playing" but they are not playing actually. So maybe this wrong status information is causing the issue?

做了更多的研究——似乎 Homepods 的状态不正确。

我发现 Homepods 有时处于“正在播放”状态，但实际上并没有播放。所以可能是这个错误的状态信息导致了这个问题？

我也发现了同样的问题，请问你解决了吗
