I don't know if it's device specific but I use "Hey Siri, turn on the overhead lights and the floor lamp" for example all the time. I have a HomePod though.

Weird, I have a homepod (mini) also. In fact I hardly have any Apple stuff anymore, I only got homepods because it was the most privacy-friendly option out of the big three. I just have an iPad from work which I used to set them up. And most of my automation goes through Home Assistant anyway.

When I give a double command Siri literally tells me she can't do two things at the same time and I have to present them as two separate commands.

Perhaps it's because I have it set to UK English? Perhaps it's smarter in US English. I'll have to try that.

Most companies treat you know English as European, and European customers as second in line for new features after America.

Or more specifically, treat American English first for voice control stuff.
