At what time did it come for you ?

I was able to update around 20:30 GMT

Still nothing on this side of the Channel.

my lounge homepod still not showing anything. just says no response but no issues with the bedroom homepod. dunno if it just needs a plug off and on to see if it works.

I may get another two for upstairs hall way. bedroom seems fairly accurate so will see what it's like in hall way upstairs as it tends to be far colder there

edit seems to have updated now. very tempted now to add a few more for the temp and humidity. ours is quite bad so will be good to measure.

70% and 67% upstairs and downstairs.

odd that my lounge homepod keeps saying no response or updating but bedroom homepod mini is just fine

My HomePods are both on 16.2 and say there’s no update available. The Home app is showing me temperature but no humidity.

Updated. Working fine

Makes you wonder whether there are features in other devices that are also disabled. SMH.

iPhones have built-in FM radio receivers that were never enabled

What's the difference between old homepod vs new? temp sensors?

There is no difference. it’s literally a repackaged homepod mini

I have 2 Wi-Fi’s at home. Main one and one with AirPort Express. After updating to 16.3 in the home app it’s the AE one that showed which is not the WiFi used for the original set up.

They still worked fine and showed temperature and humidity..

My OCD kicked in so I reset both devices and main WiFi then showed up in the home app.

It’s no great deal , just odd.
