homepod mini

Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

I’m trying to find a good, economical sound solution for watching tv in my living room (15’ x 15’ with three walls. The other end is open to the dining room/kitchen.) I have a Samsung TV and I use an Apple TV 4K device and remote to control the tv. For audio I’m using a HomePod Mini, but I just...

I recently got some HomePod minis, and they’re working nicely with our smart home setup. We also upgraded our window roller shutters to be HomeKit compatible. So now via Hey Siri on the HomePods we can open and close the roller shutters. It got me wondering… if we’re not at home, does Hey Siri...

Remember years ago when Apple was thriving and couldn’t be matched? They had this unspoken slogan of “it just works.” Now, I have so many issues with just about all of my Apple devices from speed, to bugs, to reliability, to Siri. It just seems like Apple has lost quality and charm. Some...

Hi! Ever since updating to version 17.0 I'm having issues with my HomePod Mini stereo pair. Music seems to be playing OK, but suddenly one of them stops playing and I can't get it to work unless I reboot both Minis. Unfortunately, this has become a daily issue, and there are even some days when...

My Apple TV 4K uses a pair of home pod minis for sound output. When used for playing audio from my iPhone the speakers both work. The Apple TV has stopped sending sound to one HomePod mini. I reset both HomePods. The pair exists in the home app and can be identified as left and right. Any...

Has anyone tried to install a homepod mini using POE? Theoretically it should work, however I am having some trouble. As I increase the volume above 70% the mini shuts off abruptly. It works just fine up until about 70% volume. I am using a 24-port NETGEAR switch (GS728TP - POE+) and 190w...

Now I have a better streaming device (the Apple TV box is a huge improvement on my old Amazon Fire Stick), I'm thinking its time for a sound upgrade. It seems there are two choices, a single Homepod or a couple of paired Homepod Minis. I was wondering if anyone has tried each of these...

Well it’s happened again. My automations to play music at certain times of day have all stopped working. No changes to my network, software or hardware. No changes to the automations. The automation that pauses music works fine. If I press "test automation" several times, it will eventually...

In my bedroom, I have an Apple TV 4K paired with one HomePod Mini for TV audio output and it works great! I recently purchased an additional HomePod Mini to connect to my Apple TV 4K in my living room and I’m having issues. The HomePod Mini in my living room will connect to my Apple TV 4K for...

Does anyone have a fix for my currently useless HomePod minis? Running 16.4.1, every request to play a song is met with “one sec” and then “I couldn’t find <song> in your Apple Music library.” It’s been happening for weeks. Factory resets aren’t working. They are doing a wonderful job holding...

Just got a second HomePod Mini for the kitchen. They are not paired for stereo -- but I can't seem to get them to play one at a time via the Home app on the iPhone. I tap one in the app, and they both go off; tap it again, and they both go on. Driving me crazy, and just can't figure it out...

Hi, I just received my two HomePods / connected stereo to AppleTV in the living room in our flat. Impressive bass – but at times, I think it's a bit too much as I don't want to disturb our neighbours, especially late evenings. So I end up using the "reduce bass" feature most of the time. I'm...

I have tried the HomeKit App on iPhone, iPad (both running 16.3.1) and Mac OS Ventura (13.2.1), and the settings on the Apple TV itself. Nowhere am I able to set the default speaker for the Apple TV to the HomePod mini. No such option shows up in the Apple TV settings in HomeKit anywhere, and...

So here’s something I haven’t had any luck with DuckDuckGo or Google and wondering if there’s a Thread Guru who can answer it: I finally added a HomePod mini yesterday so I could take advantage of Thread devices like my Eve Weather, and wemo Smart Plug which are the newer thread-enabled...

Anyone who's using two HomePod minis as computer speakers, how do you like it? I know in the past people complained there was a lag, is this still there? Are there any issues you run across? How happy are you with the overall sound quality? And have you compared it against other speakers in the...

Since many month I try to convince Apple to look into caching of radio stations. I use Homepod Mini mostly for listening to news on local radio. Everytime I do this I have to listen for one minute to yesterdays news before the actual staion is coming. Is it really that difficult guys? I will...

Hey all, Here's a fun one. I'm running the latest HomeKit architecture; of course all the devices in my home are on 16.2. Last night I brought home a new HomePod mini & attempted to add it to my home. No go. Not possible. When going through the regular setup screens I was asked to log-in to...

I have 5 HomePods Minis in my house. Ever since updating them to 16.2 (along with upgrading the HomeKit architecture), I've had nothing but issues with music just stopping on my HomePods. A few songs will play, maybe 4 or 5, but then it just stops. I have Apple Music, I'm not AirPlaying from...

Hi everyone, Anyone else have trouble playing downloaded YouTube videos (on the YouTube app) when connected to the HomePod Mini? The video just flickers and not play, but if I choose the video outside of the ”Downloads” section of the app, the video does play. Also, sometimes the video just...
