    HomePod Use HomePod for Audio + Projector for Video

    I'm looking to purchase a hopefully relatively inexpensive projector to play movies in my bedroom, but I'd like to use the HomePod for the audio source. I know that all projectors are different, but assuming that the projector requires a wired connection to accept the video, does anyone know how...

    HomePod Siri Working VERY Poorly After Update to 13.2.1

    Yes, I didn't update my HomePod to 13.2 and waited for the 13.2.1 which initially seemed to work. Unfortunately, it now seems that my HomePod has lost the ability to respond to many requests. When I ask for the weather it just says, "Sorry, something's wrong. Please try again." When I ask about...

    HomePod On the HomePod, can you play music as a wake-up alarm?

    This wasn't possible under the initial release nearly two years ago, it was still missing in the iOS 12 update, and now that we have iOS 13 is this STILL not possible? What I want is a way to say, "Hey Siri, play my Morning Playlist at 7:15AM." Interestingly enough, my $30 Google Mini can do...

    HomePod How can I "unsee" 13.2 HomePod update in Home app?

    So I had 13.2 pop up in the Home app for my HomePod and I went to update on Monday evening (central time) around 8pm or so. The update never progressed and just said "update requested". I left it then read about the brick issues etc and decided to quit it. Thankfully my HomePod is still working...

    HomePod HomePod 13.2 Questions

    I was about to type out two HomePod 13.2-related questions, but I discovered the answer for the first. I figured I would answer the question for the forum, as I'm sure I can't be the only one wondering. I still have a second question, if someone can help me out there. (1) How do you have the...

    HomePod Any way to way Siri say less??

    Is there any way to make Siri less verbose? I had an echo dot connected to my Philips hue lights and whenever I gave a command it just did it but on my HomePod Siri likes to tell me all the steps it is going through when I’d rather they just happened without me being told. I want to say the...

    AirPlay to Stereo Paired HomePods

    So, I thought that Catalina was supposed to bring AirPlay 2 support to MacOS. Yet, when I look at audio outputs from my iMac, I only see one of my paired HomePods. Am I missing something obvious?

    HomePod HomePod can’t understand the word “the” in requests

    I’ve been troubleshooting this for weeks and am getting nowhere. Recently my HomePod has started saying “I’m sorry I can’t find anything like that this time” when I ask it to turn off “the table lamp” (or any of my other hue bulbs around the house). Previously Siri understood this no problem. I...

    Does anyone else experience issues with HomeKit devices when downloading things via the PS4? For example, if I'm downloading a game or game updates, all of my Hue lighting becomes unresponsive through the Home app, but are perfectly fine through the Hue app. If I pause or cancel the downloads...

    HomePod HomePod in the kitchen?

    With the recent price drop, I'm thinking more seriously of purchasing an additional HomePod. I would like to buy one to go in our kitchen, and think the white model would look best there, but have concerns about the durability of the white fabric mesh covering in a kitchen environment. Can...

    HomePod For those with TVs that support Airplay 2, can you use your HomePod as a tv speaker?

    Extremely curious to see how (or if) this is handled. I'm aware the Apple TV can play audio to HomePod so it seemed reasonable that newly supporting TV's might as well.
