[@erintherapy]

Hey Craig! Question: (Thank you so much! I find your reviews information and enjoy your energy in them!) I'm thinking of converting my home to HomeKit, but learned that I would have to completely buy a new house thermostat. Do you know if there is a HomeKit house thermostat that 1- WON'T auto-lower when I leave, and 2- that I can still control while NOT on my wifi? I change my thermostat from my phone right now before I get home if I'm gone for more hours than expected, or for more extreme weather than expected while I'm traveling. Your expertise may save me HOURS of research!!! Hope you can help! Thank you in advance.

[@tinafriesen6981]

[@sslranch]

I was ready to start investigating Siri to augment (and maybe replace eventually Alexa) until I saw this video. That delay is something Alexa doesn't suffer from right now and Siri would be a step backward. Apple needs to work on this if it wants to be taken seriously as the home automation goto controller.

[@Tailsnpaws]

Alexa has so much more to offer. I used to be a solid Google Assistant user, then I got an iphone and started using Siri. With enough aggravation I tried Alexa and found continued improvements that I believe she will out perform Google. Try the car feature in the Alexa app. Outstanding.

[@travisdlucas]

Interesting, I’m getting ready to replace my echo devices with HomePods because Alexa is so awful at properly responding. We have to repeat ourselves 2-3 times to get her to do anything while the HomePods I have been testing at home and my office are much more responsive. I’ve never experienced the delays shown in this video.

[@Tailsnpaws]

@@travisdlucas I have. Repeatedly…to the point of aggravation. As far as the Alexa devices, make sure you have the latest update installed. This device is fast becoming the best one of the bunch. More personalized responses that are better than the Google Assistant. We made her the default Assistant on our iPhone.

[@TechObservANT]

There must be some Wi-Fi weirdness or something else afoot in the background that was hampering the performance of the HomePod Mini’s in this video because I have NEVER had this type of delay with my HomePod Mini’s in the few months that I’ve had them. Like Travis Lucas below, my house was getting annoyed by the crummy performance with our Alexa-compatible devices. We have various Echos, Sonos, and Yamaha smart speakers with Alexa built-in and all were just missing commands or saying that the devices couldn’t communicate with the smart lights and such. It was a waste. Now, I’ve switched over to a couple HomePod Mini’s and an Apple TV 4K and I can ABSOLUTELY say that it always gets things turned right on and right off within seconds and they probably haven’t had any connection issues since I’ve bought it. I’ve been shocked by the results but hey… everyone’s mileage may vary.

[@raulv98]

@@travisdlucas for me google sucked completely. I never dared to ask google to change a song while on Android Auto because it would almost certainly fail. Siri just seems to know whatever I'm telling her.

I find that the delay is contingent on Wi-Fi strength to the HomePod mini.

[@brendomiryr]

Apple has appeared to fall far behind in the personal assistant space. It’s bizarre how it’s been this long and we’ve gotten barely any improvements. When will we get an official Siri 2.0? Technically they never announced she wasn’t beta anymore.

[@weedywet]

Yes, using my iPhone directly or CarPlay is MUCH faster

[@videoeditingprojects2355]

Thank you for bleeping out the Siri’s so my own Siri doesn’t activate every time 😂

[@videoeditingprojects2355]

I like what Apple is doing here. I just feel that they aren’t pouring as much recourses in as they are on their other things like iPhones, iPad, etc. Also, I feel that the person they picked for director of Apple Home is not doing his job compared to those for other Apple products, and it shows through. They have so so so so so much potential. The hardware is there, the software is there but needs to be overhauled.

[@AudrianaIzarraras]

Fr. Cause a cord??????

[@rainbomg]

Don’t you have to have the specific and limited smart devices that apple HomeKit lists? I’m confused about this. I’m using google home right now with all sorts of generic smart bulbs and a thermostat and smart plugs and whatnot. None of those devices are on the like 20 item list of things I can use with apple home kit. They all connect to google. Will getting a mini change this? And/or can I connect it through google home?

[@philipmoriau599]

I'm surprised by the delay here. I use siri often on my watch, phone and via carplay and I usually don't have this kind of delay. Did you have a bad wifi connection or something or is this specific to the homepod?

[@mencibenci]

it’s specific to the homepod, all my minis do this, they’re on super fast 5ghz wifi, but they’re still pretty stuttery :(

[@cell1540rol]

It depends on what kind of day Apple’s horrible servers are having. Some days my HomePods work fine, other days they are super slow.

[@cell1540rol]

Holy smokes, Siri is slow as heck. She seems to have good days and bad days (I have 9 HomePods myself) Siri has gotten terrible since iOS 15.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I know what you mean. I don’t trim the demos it’s shows the good and bad. unfortunately, like you I have seen some recent slowdowns. thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

[@Tailsnpaws]

Siri is painfully slow. I noticed that many improvements were bestowed upon Alexa. Speed and accuracy among them. We never had, "wait a sec" coming from Miss A. Good video though Craig. Always informative. Thanks.

[@jblas82]

My iPhone only tells me "Just a sec" when I have a painfully slow data connection while out and about. While on wifi, I never have this issue. Could it be that he doesn't have a fast wifi connection? Or is the homepod mini just that slow?

[@armandolucero9522]

@@jblas82 I’ve never had an issue with my HomePod being this painfully slow, typically it may say “one sec” when I request to turn on lights but the light come on while she says it(not after). It could just me an internet issue.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Hello John and Armando, this has been happening more since the latest update. Internet is very strong. I have seen a few others say that have seen more of it. But like you said, I have heard the “one sec” and the scene has already run. I don’t edit feature demo speed so the good and bad shows. With some of these you get the slow ones. One thing I do wonder is if any of it has to do with not using a feature regularly. With the combination of voice match and personal request, does it add anything to a lesser used features. Thanks for watching.

[@jua7265]

I use HomePod and Siri very regularly all throughout the day/night and rarely have anything but instant replys. Alexa has also become fairly stable too. What I have experienced is if a specific Siri module is unavailable , such as timers, there will be the ‘just a sec’ response (while other requests are immediate) but Siri speed has certainly been increasing since Apple localized the service rather than entirely based on server-side services.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank Jua for sharing your experience. That is good to hear another hands on use other than me.

[@trebm3]

My biggest question here. Outside of better sound as a speaker why wouldn’t you do any of this on your phone which most people carry around with them at all times

[@Chasingdreamsnothighs]

For me personally when I get home i leave my phone in my sleeping room along with my apple watch. The Homepod is in my work/lounge room and comes in handy for certain things.

[@joannalewis8623]

I did think he could have written the text message three times over. At home, when I ask Siri to turn a light off, sometimes it would be quicker to do it myself but I suppose it’s all work in progress.

[@sherylchilders6]

I use the homepod mini to control my apple tv hands free (play, pause, start over, etc). You still have to use the Apple TV remote to search and play something new, but it also has voice control, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@LJG999ab]

Most reviewers miss a key aspect of the mini. First and foremost it is a music speaker- an excellent one. It is not how loud it is- but the quality of the sound. This is a byproduct of excellent design and advanced technology. It can function as very good TV speaker when used as a stereo pair. But beyond this, as part of the Apple ecosystem, it helps make music more accessible. As for its home automation capabilities- these are fine. But its musicality is what makes it a superb choice .

[@PeppesPizzaPie1]

Hi, finale got my set. Apple decided not to see them in Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg. So were stuck with a English Siri :-) And NO help from them :-( I have a problem with Siri, she/he speaks so soft that I nearly have tp put my ear on the speakers yo hear her/him. When I put the sound up, only the music will go louder, not Siri? You happend to know how I get the volume of the Siri voice higher? Would be grateful :-)

[@jimmyambrose5453]

My current iPhone that's with me just about 100% of the time can do 95% of everything (HomeKit, Siri, reminders, making calls, playing music, etc) mentioned. I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of this speaker besides the actual speaker part. I'm not trying to be a smart ass just the fact that it seems very redundant to have 2 devices that pretty much do the same thing. Also Siri voice won't work with other streaming music subscriptions on the HomePod but will on the iPhone. I believe that's a deal breaker to only support Apple Music when it can be done on the iPhone.

[@picnicphoto]

I have 2 original large Homepods in stereo which I love and they have gotten better with each upgrade--I use timers, use REminders and add to lists, call or message, music of course. I never touch the HOmepods. I wanted one in the BR to listen to radio :(CNN and MSNBC) or music (may tell Homepods to play everywhere) when I'm in there or near--so bought a Mini awhile ago. I had an Echo Dot in there--really disliked it--so the Mini was just right. Have considered adding another that will be more of a floater (I have done that with the BR--moved to LR and onto covered porch). Oh, do use Mini for music until sleeping also--tell it to set a sleep timer. I rarely ask them to answer questions--find I get better info from using Ipad or Mac. or phone.

Is there a way to get the iPhone to ring over the apple home pods?

Craig, have you done a video on Car Play? I looked through your videos but did not find one. If not please do. I find Car Play and Siri drive (no pun intended) me nuts. I am not sure if I need a newer iPhone (I have a 7 Plus) or it is what it is. I drive from Florida to Northern New Hampshire and back and Siri is a nightmare for me. No way points. Often selects routes I don't want and no way I can find to correct them. On top of that her logic/AI is seriously flawed it seems. Just one example. We have a second home in Lincoln, NH. This is in my address book of course. I can be twenty miles away and ask Siri for directions to Lincoln New Hampshire yet she plots a route to Lincoln, Nebraska! Also she doesn't just show where I am and follow along unless I have plotted a directions route. I am sure she used to. So is it Siri, Apple Maps or my iPhone? I drive a newish Jaguar so the Car Play head should be OK, one would think.

[@CraigsTechTalk]
