HomePod Everything new with HomePod's upcoming software update

[B/D]

List of new features:

Select a single or pair of HomePod mini as the default speakers for your Apple TV 4k for rich room-filling sound and clear dialogue.
Media playback controls automatically appear on your iPhone’s Lock Screen when a HomePod mini playing music is nearby.
Set a lower bass level to enjoy music without disturbing the neighbors.
Ask Siri to turn on your Apple TV, start playing a favorite movie, and control playback while you watch.
Siri automatically adjusts its speaking level based on the room environment and volume of the user.
Ask Siri to control smart home devices at a specific time like turning off the lights in 10 minutes.
Extend access to HomePod throughout your home by enabling Siri voice control on compatible HomeKit accessories.
Support for package detection with HomeKit Secure Video
Lossless and Atmos support for Apple Music content will be available later this year with another software update.

This right here… AMAZING.
I have two scenes, HomePods Day and HomePods Night that I have to adjust the volumes because she wakes up the whole house when I make a small query late night. Don’t have to anymore.

Is a bummer that, after waiting for lossless and Atmos for Apple Music on the Homepods since June, we now will have to wait a little more, perhaps until November. Oh well, at least we know its coming.
