    General Shortcuts for Homepod

    Hi, Today I received my new Homepod, and so far so great! Ever since it was released I was in two minds about purchasing one. I was using a Google Home mini and while Google Assistant has some extra features that SIRI doesn't, I simply don't have a need for those, other than a few things I'm...

    HomePod Wind - Siri cracks me up

    "Hey, Siri, what's the wind?" I ask my HomePod. "No, it doesn't seem very windy right now; only about 15 miles an hour." The actual wind is 15 MPH, with gusts up to 28. The wind chill is -10. I wonder what Siri would say in a hurricane . . .

    HomeKit HomePod + Apple TV + HomeKit

    I'm setting up a HomePod, new user, with an Apple TV and eventually will include HomeKit for lights, fans, etc.. I'm already stuck on the first question on the Home app. Do I want the Apple TV or HomePod to be the center of my home? I have an iPhone and iPad too, if that makes a difference.

    HomePod How do HomeKit Bluetooth devices work with HomePod?

    Let's say I have a Bluetooth HomeKit device. Let's say a temperature sensor. In order to get the sensor data from a phone it has to connect to device directly via Bluetooth which is slow and not always successful. If an Apple HomePod would be introduced as a hub will the device be permanently...

    HomePod Can I play sound from a Mac and a HomePod at the same time ?

    HomePod HomePod Stereo Placement for best audio experience

    I have 2 HomePods running as a stereo pair in my bedroom. I had them originally placed on the chest in front of my bed and they are about 45-50 inches apart with my TV in between.

    For example, we have multiple bedrooms, bathrooms. In a situation where I want to control the lights, how would I tell Siri to turn off all the lights in a specific bedroom? I have an Apple TV and HomePod in my bedroom which both act as a hub, so when I say the command "Hey Siri turn on my...

    HomePod HomePod 12.1 update?

    Several outlets are reporting HomePod 12.1 update is out. But I don't see it. After the "checking for update" wheel spins for a bit, it says: iOS 12 Your HomePod software is up to date. What am I missing? I've updated my iPhone and iPad to 12.1, so I know that's not the issue.

    HomePod HomePod as home theater?

    I currently have a rather nice Pioneer receiver with a 5.1 speaker system. I do enjoy the great sound quality but I have been thinking of taking it a notch down to save some space in the living room. I’ve been considering getting 2 HomePods to replace all of it. Does anyone here use HomePod for...
