HomeKit HomeKit Scenes With Homepods

[bonokoot]

Anyone able to add a HomePod to an scenes and have them stay? For me it seems to add it, select my music, close the scenes to save, and go back in and the HomePods are gone.

I think you’re going to have to give us quite a bit more to go on than that. Unless I’m missing something, there is no helpful information there whatsoever.

With the HomePod update you’re now able to add a HomePod to a HomeKit scenes and select what you want it to do. Play a radio station, pause, etc. When I add a HomePod to a HomeKit scene, save it, and go back into the scene the HomePod is gone.

Can you give me an example please?

I can’t even add the HomePod to my HomeKit scene. I just updated it. And iPhone too.

I can use the new transfer audio from phone to HomePod when holding iPhone close to the HomePod.

I got it to work with scenes. Just rebooted my phone.

Yup automations work for me too.

Ugg meant scenes not automation.

Ooh sorry that’s was actually what I meant

EDIT: Sorry. That was early for me! It’s automation not scenes.

Rebooted iPhone. Now an accessory I’ve added to a bunch of scenes that was working before the update to the iPhone and HomePod has been removed and can’t be added back.

Created a new scene and and it keeps the accessories, but going back in to add more accessories to the scene won’t save any changes. So buggy.

I’ve found that when adding a HomePod to scene and clicking the X to close the scene instead of swiping the scene down to close works. Also renaming the scene and renaming it back before hitting the X may also help.

Playing music (Apple Music radio stations) with scenes in HomeKit isn't working.

I've also noticed it now responds, loudly, "<scene>, coming up" rather than just switching the lights silently as before.

I want to hear less from Siri, not more.
