HomePod 16.3 Software Beta Adds Humidity and Temperature Sensing to HomePod mini, Find My, Audio Tuning and More

I wonder if we will be able to use the shortcut app to get the HomePod mini to be what is the trigger for my heating instead of my hive thermostat.

My HomePod minis upgraded to 16.3, but I don’t even see the older large HomePod listed in the Beta Upgrade section of Home. Just the mini’s. Anyone else having this issue?

Updates for the OG HomePod aren't available to public beta testers as there is no easy way to restore them whereas on the mini you can plug it in via USB-C on a Mac.

Annoyed they waited this long to activate it, so a few months ago I spent money for a homekit compatible device to monitor the air quality only for the bloody mini to have the hardware from day 1 which I have in a few rooms :mad:
 
Has anyone noticed how much more pronounced the bass sounds now on the Minis? And it's crisp at the same time... Just me?

2 homepods, in the same room, 15 feet apart…one shows 34% humidity while the other %39…..Strange

Most humidity monitors are not super accurate, many have a tolerance of +/- 5%. It’s likely that both of them are performing properly, even though they don’t agree. It also could be slightly more humid at one side of the room.
