This feature was previously only available on the full-sized HomePod (which Apple doesn\u2019t make anymore), so it\u2019s a welcomed addition to the Mini. Additionally, you can hook the Mini up to a TV through ARC \/ eARC to get sound from other devices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Here&#8217;s How to Get iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and watchOS 8<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another HomePod Mini feature is the ability to use Siri on your HomePod Mini to control your Apple TV. You can turn it on and off, start a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> or movie, or control playback.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of features related to cameras with HomeKit, as well. For example, you can use HomeKit cameras to notice packages for you, so you\u2019ll know when something is delivered. You can also see multiple cameras feeds on Apple TV, the ability to unlimited cameras to HomeKit Secure Video as long as you have an iCloud Plus 2TB plan.<\/p>\n<p>Siri is getting some other improvements related to HomeKit, too. The assistant will work on\u00a0speaker-enabled HomeKit accessories, though there\u2019s currently only one model available, and the feature isn\u2019t out yet. Siri is also getting timed commands. For example, you could say, \u201cHey Siri, turn off the lights at 9 pm,\u201d and it would perform the action at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Apple Watch\u2019s Home app is getting huge improvements that\u2019ll make it better at working with your HomeKit accessories.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HomeKit_Is_Getting_Better_and_Better\"><\/span>HomeKit Is Getting Better and Better<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple is definitely behind Google and Amazon regarding its smart home system, but it\u2019s catching up. iOS and iPadOS 15 are a huge step forward for HomeKit and HomePod Mini.
