Well, my doorbell detection accuracy has varied massively through the 17 beta cycle and is far better when the ATV is the main hub as opposed to any of my HomePods. Other than that it’s actually been pretty good. I would say as good as it’s ever been.
Wow, that’s great news. Looking forward to it next month.

Ah, so we are FINALLY getting out of the performance hell that audioOS 15 and 16 were.
About time.

If I remember, awhile ago, you asked if anyone had any luck in asking Siri to turn off a device after a particular amount of time via HomePod. I use that quite a lot and it’s almost instant now. In other words, I ask my HomePod to do it and within a second she comes back and says she set such and such a device to go off at my required time. So there is massive improvement in the responsiveness there at least.
It actually started working again on 16.6 about a week or so ago. My guess is it was some server side tweaks Apple was doing for OS 17.
However, it was and still is very delayed. I always got the, “working on that” “still on it” and then it would finally complete after ~10 seconds. Was never instant so this is even more to look forward to 👍🏻. Appreciate the update.
Well, if you are a developer that makes sense.They "selected you" (along with others dev, of course) in this round to test the homepod beta software.
Has anyone experienced Homepod not playing next song?
I mean, it'd randomly stuck on the last second of the song and not playing the next song.
There's still plenty of songs in the queue tho.
I think it happened since beta 2 and kept happening until the latest beta.
My 2 Homepods paired with Apple TV (4K 3rd gen with latest beta), already tried to ungroup them, still happening
It's very frustrated, I thought it might be with the first few betas, but it kept happening all the time with random music on Apple Music.
