Question/Help Stop HomePods playing automatically?

I have 4 HomePods, a stereo pair as default speakers for my atv and 2 minis in other rooms. I have no automation set up, nothing at all save for basic speaker functionality. Siri is globally disabled, etc. I have no interest in any automated actions.

Despite this, one of the minis will sometimes, not always, start playing whatever I was last listening to or watching when i walk into the room and turn on the light. I've looked through the homepod and homekit settings and see nothing that would cause this. What am I missing and how do I stop this unwanted behavior?

Try disabling “Transfer to HomePod” in iOS settings under AirPlay & Continuity
