    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...

    All Devices HomePod User Voice Recognition Spanish

    I have siri set to spanish, and when opening the home app on my ipad with iOS 13, i get a message saying that HomePod can now recognise different voices as long as siri is set to english. Does anyone know if apple made any comments regarding this? If it's only going to be an english-specific...

    HomeKit PS4 and HomeKit Issues

    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.

    HomePod Next HomePod

    Will the next gen HomePod have Active Noise Cancellation? Will it be able to cancel any external room noise for a totally silent environment? There are already products on the market but if Apple figured out how to do the ambient position detection and Hey Siri detection on full volume then why...

    HomePod Disappointed with Homepod experience

    Hi there, I purchased two homepods to play in separate rooms. They constantly lose their connections to Apple Music requiring me to log out and back in at least once a day if not more. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to remove the homepods from the home app (on my iPhone) and add them...

    HomePod Poll: What are the main reasons you haven't bought a HomePod?

    This poll is for people interested in the HomePod, but there is something holding you back. Poll will let you pick up to three things, but you don't have to pick three.

    How much can Siri control TV and Soundbar?

    I have an old Sony 4k TV (2017model with no airplay support) and planning to buy a Dolby Atmos supported Home Theater System and Apple TV 4k. I already have Homepod. Is it possible to completely control ALL TV Settings and Soundbar settings using Siri on Homepod? Has anyone tried that level of...

    Theory: HomePod Will Replace AppleTV

    I’m going to make a bold prediction: The Apple TV as we know it will disappear. When Apple announces its new TV service on Monday, it will be called TV. Apple began working towards this a few years ago when the TV app was launched. Not only did it take a prominent role in tvOS as the place...

    General Shortcuts for Homepod

    Hi, Today I received my new Homepod, and so far so great! Ever since it was released I was in two minds about purchasing one. I was using a Google Home mini and while Google Assistant has some extra features that SIRI doesn't, I simply don't have a need for those, other than a few things I'm...

    HomePod Tried out the HomePod but ended up returning it

    Hi All! I purchased the HomePod and ended up returning it. I've owned the Sonos system and the Amazon Echo. My review is comparing the three: 1) The Sonos system sounds great! But the Alexa microphone is weak and has trouble hearing you. 2) The Amazon Echo listens perfectly and gives great...

    HomePod Wind - Siri cracks me up

    "Hey, Siri, what's the wind?" I ask my HomePod. "No, it doesn't seem very windy right now; only about 15 miles an hour." The actual wind is 15 MPH, with gusts up to 28. The wind chill is -10. I wonder what Siri would say in a hurricane . . .

    HomeKit HomePod + Apple TV + HomeKit

    I'm setting up a HomePod, new user, with an Apple TV and eventually will include HomeKit for lights, fans, etc.. I'm already stuck on the first question on the Home app. Do I want the Apple TV or HomePod to be the center of my home? I have an iPhone and iPad too, if that makes a difference.
