Stop Siri from announcing alarms on HomePod mini

Is there any way to turn off Siri announcing my alarms on my HomePod mini? I set up the alarm on the Home app (or sometimes with Siri). I would like to have Siri stop repeating “[alarm label] alarm” when my alarm comes off.

Use a Home automation instead of a HomePod alarm

If you want sound without Siri talking:

  1. Open Home
  2. Tap Automation
  3. Tap +
  4. Choose Time of Day
  5. Set your desired alarm time
  6. Under Accessories, select the HomePod mini
  7. Choose Play Audio
  8. Select a sound or a playlist
  9. Save

👉 Result: HomePod will play the audio without Siri announcing it.
