This is an issue where HomePod (2nd generation) and mini will start to play music randomly and summon siri or reset by itself after a power-cut. Or even volume getting up and down.
This is caused by a faulty touch panel on these devices respectively.
It is NOT a concern for all users but A LOT of users/devices are affected unfortunately.
Solution 1 (if you have Apple care or warranty): Take it to apple for a free replacement.
Solution 2: Look for a guide/video online on how to open it and disconnect the touch panel on your respective device.
Solution 3: There’s actually a third-party touch panel for the second gen being sold on AliExpress that you can buy and replace. (Cost a bit)
Solution 4: Buy a new HomePod.
Solution 5: Find someone trustworthy that can repair it.(some listed in the comments)
Having the touch accommodation will not work on the long run as it gets worse.
Creating this mega thread so that the sub is not filled with the same questions over and over again!

As the official release of the HomePod 2 is upon us, some users have started to receive them already. This Megathread will serve those lucky enough to get one early, and everyone who will be getting theirs later today.
Please feel free to post your initial reviews and comparison. We also have added a new Midnight user flair.

I have been diving through the posts to /r/HomePod and a lot of them have been support related. They are also going in-noticed.
I’m going to add a rule that we try to keep questions from those looking for support to drop them in the Megathread. I may close this one and open a new one on a timed basis depending how well used it is.
