I want to replace my google nest mini with a HomePod mini for privacy reasons. My biggest uses are 1) turning my lights on and off 2) playing cricket founds while I fall asleep 3) turning my tv off.

I know I'll lose the chrome cast ability to turn the TV off, but what about the crickets? Can I still do that?

If you have an Apple Music subscription, I just checked and there are tons of cricket sounds in the library that you’d be able to play on the HomePod. If not, I know the HomePod has some stock nature sounds but not 💯 sure if crickets are part of that.
