homepod mini

I have 5 LiFx bulbs in a room (named; A, B, C, D, E) When I ask my HomePod mini to 'turn on light A' the light goes on— BUT no reply from Siri. When I ask my HomePod mini to 'turn on <any of the other bulbs>' the light goes on— with a Siri response, "OK, Light 'x' is on" When I ask Siri via...

So disappointing. I had high hopes for 16.2 - especially with the new Home architecture. Did all the updates to my 7 HomePods (2 stereo paired minis, and an OG HomePod).... updated the architecture... Tried "hey Siri play some music everywhere......." Responded with "working on it....." (NOT...

I‘m interested in buying a HomePod Mini as I have several Apple devices at home. However, I also have a bluetooth turntable and to my knowledge there’s no way to use it with a HomePod since those don’t support Bluetooth streaming (only Airplay I believe). Anybody’s got a solution? I read...

So, just when I think that the HomePods / multi room music is working OK again... something else happens. This time, I have a stereo pair of HomePod Minis and sound is only coming out of one. The other is on. Its paired according to the app... but no sound whatsoever. It responds to taps but...

I have set up a HomePod Minis as a pair. This works wonderfully with music! Sound comes out of both speakers to create a stereo effect as you would expect. The problem starts when I watch tv. Everything is only playing out of one speaker. It's annoying! I'm using Apple TV so I assumed this...

Hello everyone, I use my OG stereo pair as Airplay speakers for music and am looking for one HomePod Mini to use Siri for alarm, timers, podcast and some other usual things. Now, if you have an OG Homepod Stereo pair and one Homepod Mini can all these 3 play music in sync at the same time by...

Hi all, I have a new HomePod mini and was interested in using it as a speaker for my Ipad when watching videos. When I switched the audio output via Airplay to my Homepod, the video on the screen pauses. The audio continues but I can't get the video to play. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I use white noise on my HomePod Minis to cover outside noise during the morning and stop it from waking me up. I don't know why but this week, the white noise starting having loop problems. So instead of looping seamlessly, there is a short pause between the end and start of the loop...

‘Night night.’ - everything remains on. Anyone else having this issue since updating to 15.4? It’s always worked in the past, nothing has changed and she acknowledges what I’ve set but doesn’t set the ‘Goodnight’ scene.

On my Apple TV 4K (1st gen), which I have set up to pair with one HomePod mini, when I play YouTube videos at double the playback speed, I don't get the sound to properly sync since I am doubled on my speed of playback. The whole sound experience gets real choppy. Is it something people here...

I've been trying to restore the software on my HomePod minis to troubleshoot some HomeKit problems I have. I have two HomePod minis. I tried doing the restore by holding down the display on top. That wouldn't work (nothing happened). So I tried plugging into my M1 Mac. That wouldn't work...

We have had HomePod mini for a few months but have only encountered this issue yesterday. Possibly caused by 1 5.3 update. The device recognises my and my wife’s voice separately and is pretty good at playing our own individual playlists. However when my wife asked Siri to play her station it...

Before I launch it out of the window, does anyone else have an issue with their HomePod mini ‘playing’ music just to stay silent. I’ve checked the obvious things like volume, Siri responded to requests then just sits there silently whilst music doesn’t start, albeit shows on my iPhone. The...

Apologies if this exact topic has been discussed, but I didn’t find it in the forum. I am currently building a new home, and we have the option of adding a home audio system with built in speakers in the ceiling. Trying to decide if I should do this or just go with HomePod mini’s throughout the...

Can anyone at Apple finally decide to ship the HomePod mini to the EU? Or should we buy Sonos with a Spotify subscription?

Well as always I could not control myself ? I managed to get a hold of a Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max in 128GB yesterday. Immediately I noticed how stunning the device is and the build quality is exceptional. I instantly noticed the 120HZ refresh rate on the display. Not as noticeable like...

I’m having a hard time figuring out compatibility. Will an Apple TV 4th Gen (not 4K) be able to have a HomePod Mini had the default audio output? Ive updated both devices to 15.0, but the HMP does not show up as an option.

Maybe it’s just buggy but I’ve spent some frustrating time on it and have come up with nothing. First, I updated everything to xOS 15. I then paired my HomePod minis and AirPlay works fine to listen to music from my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. They all work great. Apple TV works great, too, when I...

Hi everyone, has anyone tested the TVos15 with a HomePod mini? Does it now have an option to set as the TV speaker and do sound play when playing games? At the moment I have to pair via Bluetooth to an Amazon Echo Studio speaker to hear sounds with games. thanks for your help :)

Curious how a (two) HomePods setup compares to a good soundbar (like the Bose “TV Speaker” soundbar). I know the HomePod Mini doesn’t support Atmos, but with a high vaulted ceiling, I don’t benefit from Atmos anyway. Also curious about the base if anyone has experience.
