Why does my smart speaker start music when the washing machine announces its cycle?
Our answer
The washing-machine chime may sound like a wake word; reduce wake sensitivity or reposition the smart speaker.
Why this approach makes sense
Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.
Before you try it
Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
