Question/Support Homepod personalization for family members with Android.

1 Upvotes

I ordered a HomePod Mini for myself and i know about the voice thingy it has that detects which person is talking to it, thus having different customization for them. Like if i ask it to play songs i like it plays something different compared to if another family member asks the same question. I am the only one in the family with an iPhone. Everyone else uses androids. Would it still be possible for my family members to get this customization feature?

Question/Support Finally got a second HomePod to use with my Apple TV. What movie would you use to show off the sound mix on these (with Dolby Atmos preferred)?

Edit: consensus seems to be Dune and the Star Wars films are great choices.

I’m using Apple TV 4k latest gen with homepods 2 as stereo. I can’t click dolby atmos to turn it off. I guess there’s no other option, or I’m missing something? Also, I can’t change the format.

Question/Support Is this normal behavior or is there something wrong?

So I have a HomePod mini stereo pair attached to my Apple TV 4K that I use as the primary sound system on my TV. Only one of them seems to be able to display the temperature and humidity at any given moment. The other one always says no response in HomeKit. Unfortunately it’s not the same one that always shows no response, they take turns. As soon as I restart the one experiencing the problem, the other one begins showing no response. When playing music, only one of them at a time will light up. They both play music, but only one lights up. And they take turns lighting up as well. when one of them is lighting up the other one will not. And whichever one is lighting up and showing the temperature in HomeKit, is the one Siri will respond through. Siri just will not respond out of the other one at all. If it was always the same HomePod mini that was acting up, that would narrow down my options to fix it, but with both of them taking turns acting up I don’t know where to begin. When they are separated as two separate devices with two separate IP addresses, this doesn’t happen. It only happens when I create a stereo pair. Anybody else experiencing this?

Question/Support Playing NPR+ Podcasts

3 Upvotes

I got a HomePod mini for Christmas for use in the garage. Both my kids have one and they are quite handy. I wanted a way can do more with Siri without needing to take my phone out of my pocket when wrenching the better.

I’m an avid podcast listener. I subscribe to NPR+ and all the npr podcasts in my podcast app are the plus version. When I ask my HomePod to play one of these pod casts it plays the regular version with ads. If I ask for the plus version “play podcast planet money plus” no podcast is found.

I assume there’s something in the setup I’m missing but I’m at a loss. One thing I have realized in the 2 years we’ve had home pods the are a real pita to troubleshoot.

Thanks.
