Great video Roger, but don't forget to mute or bleep out the "siri" command. I can't watch your video because I have to keep stopping my homepod from picking up all your commands, setting alarms, changing light colours etc... that said, I'll finish watching this with my airpods for now because you have a lot of great tips.
A few other good ones: “Hey siri, remind me to go to the store tomorrow morning” -> creates a reminder on the reminder app scheduled for probably like 10am the next day “Hey Siri, remind me to talk to my boss when I get to work” -> reminder shows up when you arrive at your work place (if you set a location as your work place.” “Hey Siri, do I have any messages?” reads your unread messages “Hey Siri, add this song to my library” “Hey Siri, add this song to my _____ playlist.” “Hey Siri, I love this song.” “Hey Siri, send this song to ____” sends an Apple Music link of the song to the recipient. Additionally, homepod works as a hub for Apple music between your devices (although it’s glitchy maybe 30 or 40% of the time). You can control your HomePod’s playback from any device.
Here's a couple: To hang up a phone call, you can simply say, Hey Siri, hangup, instead of touching the display. So knowing your video would trigger my HPmini, I simply said, "Hey Siri, stop listening. Siri will then ask to confirm. To reactivate, you either touch the display and say Hey Siri, start listening or toggle Hey Siri in the Home app. HPmini comes with 7 ambient noises: Fireplace, Forest, Rain, Fireplace, Night, ocean, Stream and white noise. Simply say, Hey Siri, play Forest sound.
That’s funny! I was watching this on an ipad in a bedroom, and my HomePod mini in my living room heard you and started playing music… Doris Day, but hay, that’s a pretty sensitive microphone!!! I just told Siri to turn off the music from the bedroom and it worked like a charm. Hehe
So what determines which device responds to a hey Siri command such as set a timer for 20 minutes? How does the HomePod know I am addressing it for the timer and not my telephone?
I created a shortcut for turning on the tv that asks me what app I want to run and if I want to set the lighting scene. It tells me that it turned on the tv and what scene, if any, I selected. All accessible from the HomePod.
how you would command siri to stop playing youtube on apple TV instead play a music ? I tried many commands, wasn't successful to override a playing youtube by some music,
Do you have to have Apple Music to tell it to play different songs? Does your phone and watch also pick up the same commands? If so, how do you ensure only the HomePod picks it up?
That was awesome thanks! Subbed. For some reason I can’t get my HomePods to play the news with verbal command. Also having a hard time getting music to play at same time. (Everywhere) on all my HomePods. It’s very erratic.
I tried to use my homepod today locate my phone and it said I needed to update my settings on my iphone (11pro.) Does anyone know how to do that? I’ve rebooted my phone, turned all siri features on? i’m stuck.
This was fire please teach me more.cool shit I can do with the HomePod mini sensei..... can I watch UA-cam and Netflix videos and have the audio come through the HomePod mini speakers via Bluetooth
It’s a good overpriced smart speaker but you cannot compare it to the Google search engine which in my opinion is by far the greatest especially with Google’s continued conversation it’s great to have a convo with Google and it’s far less money…
The Apple ecosystem is much more better though, if you have Apple Music and have many or at least 2 HomePod minis you cans say “Hey Siri put Christmas music everywhere” and every HomePod mini will be with Christmas music. If you have 2 HomePod minis you can connect them to creat stereo audio.
Good stuff. Intriguing device. Like the way it works with your phone. Looking forward to getting one of these . Do you know if you set a timer on the Homepod Mini will it show up on your phone? That would be great since it will primarily be in my kitchen. What smart bulb were you using in the video - currently using LIFX for my homekit stuff? Just curious.
I have that question too. Whenever there is a tornado warning or alert or a flood alert for the area Siri needs to bring this up. If it takes a short cut it would be one that Apple would do well to advertise.
Wanted to watch the vid but your causing my house to lose its shit. Maybe in future vids dub out the SIRI part or substitute with something that won’t turn SIRI into the HAL-9000.
@@rogerseng Actually, I couldn't stop laughing. My ENTIRE house is HomeKit enabled with Lutron switches, several Homepods, and many Apple products that are Siri enabled. When your video started everything was responding. I couldn't get to the volume control fast enough. AI pandemonium. Keep up the good work and I'll check back.
I got 56 seconds into it and didn’t want to go through all that Siri command shit on my HomePod mini. You possibly have good information, but I won’t get to see it unless you stop saying hey Siri all the time.
great you almost sent a text message to my wife. i dont want her to get the wrong idea that i texted her by accident cuz she knows I wouldnt say I love you through text cuz that's just weird after being married for so long.
Please don't say "Hey, Siri" out loud in the video. You can mute the "Siri" part in editing and then it won't wake up all of my devices. I had to watch this with my headphones on to keep my devices from waking up and trying to complete the tasks you spoke in the video.
SO annoying everyone knows not to say ‘Hey Siri’ as it can set off other mini’s. The only way I can view this is to use headphones (not apple) or plug out my mini every time you say the command my Siri performs. Schoolboy error 😝
One of Siri’s great flaws is that so many people don’t know how to speak to it or what commands are available - Great job!
Great video Roger, but don't forget to mute or bleep out the "siri" command.

Haha, you start talking, my homepod angrily asks who’s speaking, you say thank you, my homepod says you’re welcome.
My Apple Watch answered him one time
Mine wasn't angry, it just followed all of Roger's commands. I'm now missing 10 minutes of Ghostbusters: the Afterlife haha 😂

"Hey Siri, play the Top 20 from 2002."
*plays Nickelback*
"Hey Siri, never play Nickelback again."
😂😂😂
BRUHHHH YOU TURNED ON MY FLOOR LAMP !!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
My home pod is goin crazy
@@rogerseng its all good tip for next time just bleep it out
Watching this video made my HomePod go crazy
I’d love to be able to say “thanks” and have Siri say “you’re welcome”
Same! I was just thinking about this earlier today!
I think you can, I’ll tell you next week when I have my HomePod mini
@@mateo1390 Please do! Unless it was part of a recent(ish) update, I couldn’t when I checked…
Just say "thank you" if you want to thank her not "thanks"
So helpful for seniors like me who are afraid but excited about technology!
Maybe when doing a video leave the hey Siri out because mine went off every time u said it mine went off...had to put on headphones 🤣
Siri is a lot smarter in the music department than I thought! Awesome video.
Those music commands work only with the Apple Music app not with Spotify, right?
This is great. I have had my mini for a month and still learning what he can do.
That’s funny! I was watching this on an ipad in a bedroom, and my HomePod mini in my living room heard you and started playing music… Doris Day, but hay, that’s a pretty sensitive microphone!!! I just told Siri to turn off the music from the bedroom and it worked like a charm. Hehe

That’s not Siri, that’s her brother.
They should name it Siro.
Only just got the Homepod and your video has been an eye-opener. Thank you.
Can siri run shortcuts from homepod? Can shortcuts be embedded into scenes?
Excellent
what happens if you ask siri to call emergency services on the homepod/mini?
I created a shortcut for turning on the tv that asks me what app I want to run and if I want to set the lighting scene. It tells me that it turned on the tv and what scene, if any, I selected. All accessible from the HomePod.
how you would command siri to stop playing youtube on apple TV instead play a music ?
I tried many commands, wasn't successful to override a playing youtube by some music,
Very good How to I Add Pandora music to I pod mini
I enjoyed learning. How do I add Pandora music to I pod mini ?
The video is great, but please bleep out the “hey Siri” command. I have to use my AirPods for this one. 😁
Do you have to have Apple Music to tell it to play different songs?

Me “Hey Siri where can I hide a dead body? “...........Siri “What again!”
Well done
Bro bleep your Siri you done set my home pod off every time.
Thanks for setting alarms on my phone and activating Siri every time you spoke! lol
@@rogerseng lol it's ok, I learned some cool stuff.
Thanx. Good info. Just what I need.
Awesome a video lie this super cool
The amount of times you set off my HomePod 😂😂
My Siri is going crazy to his voice, dammm brooo
homepod mini commands. all work on the homepod
I tried to use my homepod today locate my phone and it said I needed to update my settings on my iphone (11pro.) Does anyone know how to do that? I’ve rebooted my phone, turned all siri features on? i’m stuck.
Just go under general in settings and then software update! You're welcome!
This was fire please teach me more.cool shit I can do with the HomePod mini sensei..... can I watch UA-cam and Netflix videos and have the audio come through the HomePod mini speakers via Bluetooth

Hey it's great if you don't mind losing your privacy.
@@terrynitro5330 I know. You’re absolutely correct. My family tells me that All the time. Something I should seriously rethink. Thanks

how to add your personal requests ? everytime I ask siri to do something she tells me I have to update my personal requests .
Everyone that’s Insisting that he mute Siri..
you all should just use AirPods.. 🤷🏻♂️
It would’ve been easier for everyone if he would’ve beeped the “hey siri” command
BRAVO!! 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
after watching this video, I got a alarm set at 12:30am. Good sleep pal.
Siri can’t do the weather for me it just says that’s done
Bruh you triggered my HomePod mini lol
You did you pick up the HomePod mini
Me yes
That’s not Siri! Who knows who it is! 🤣
Damn I gave up watching this video. It first gave me weather. But later things got worse when my HomePod added alarms
If there are multiple Apple devices is homepod intelligent enough to know which device the command was meant for?
It didn't set off any of my siri devices because I have voice recognition
Mines on as well. but it still allows other to use it and summon it.
4:36 So there is some audio edits there ? Anyway I shared the video to my friends just to fool them 😄
Hey, don't watch this video in the same room as your new HomePod Mini.
“Hey Siri, what’s the weather like in Ouagadougou today?”
Me: hey Siri why am I such a broke loser?
Siri: because you’re a drunk who doesn’t apply himself.
This thing is accurate!
ask your HomePod mini to show you pictures of a tiger and see what pops up ....... make that 31 tips
When you ask Siri about the weather does she tell you about any severe weather?
I have that question too. Whenever there is a tornado warning or alert or a flood alert for the area Siri needs to bring this up. If it takes a short cut it would be one that Apple would do well to advertise.
I didn’t think the sound on the homepod minis was that great and Siri isn’t that great as an assistant. I returned mine.
I can't watch this while my homepod is plugged in...

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that."
This video is unwatchable on an iso device every time you said hey Siri you set it off here.
I wish siri can help me delete some old e-mail
Siri keep turning on
Holy shit i am in new york and its actually 3 pm
I want this one!
I got 56 seconds into it and didn’t want to go through all that Siri command shit on my HomePod mini. You possibly have good information, but I won’t get to see it unless you stop saying hey Siri all the time.
Thanks Mark! Yeah I unfortunately learned the hard way and got a lot of feedback on that. Sorry about that man!
why not just edit out siri?/?
My HomePod is still looking for your phone 🙄
Why my Homepod Mini won't react for even a sec when u said "Hey Siri" lol. Disappointing!
When making a video like this you might want to avoid hey siri you setting everyone hey Siri
En
Drives me crazy when people don't mute the command words which wreaks havoc on my HomePod. Had to turn it off.
or just tell siri to stop listening. then once you’re done, activate it manually and then tell it to start listening. That’s what i do.
great you almost sent a text message to my wife. i dont want her to get the wrong idea that i texted her by accident cuz she knows I wouldnt say I love you through text cuz that's just weird after being married for so long.

You really couldn’t have muted the hey Siri ???
@@rogerseng Hey, I enjoyed it. lol
I wish the male voice was as smooth as the females.
The Australian male voice is the most natural sounding in my opinion
SO annoying everyone knows not to say ‘Hey Siri’ as it can set off other mini’s. The only way I can view this is to use headphones (not apple) or plug out my mini every time you say the command my Siri performs. Schoolboy error 😝
Dude what was the reason for saying “hey Siri” so many times! My HomePod was going crazy. That’s very stupid and unprofessional from you
never forget when Burger King trolled everyone with Alexa by pulling up their new ad on UA-cam by using a different ad on UA-cam. legends
