May have been interested if it had an aux in to fit a chromecast audio....

Not really it’s target audience is it

I was thinking of ordering more for the guest chambers or servants quarters but **** em [emoji6]

As the stereo feature hasn’t been enabled I am keeping to just one for now. But if it is truly as outstanding as the suggestion are. Then I’ll get some more; kitchen, dining room, child 1 & 2 bedrooms, Office.

But like @GaryB19722010 the servant quarters can get their own chrome cast or Sonos

I own most apple products and will be purchasing apple compatible heating thermostats so always felt compelled to hold out for this.

BUT has apple not really just brought out a wireless speaker with no real smart capabilities. Ive read that siri and home automation are well behind from what amazon have achieved...

I realise this may be a decent speaker but im hoping to use it from smart home control.

What features exactly have apple left out as mentioned above, i suppose apple will bring out home pod 2 next year lol

Interesting angle. From a smart home control perspective, the smarter it is the less interaction it requires. When I started that journey I was worried about controls, what I learned was that if control is required then the automation isn't working. So for the house I never felt the need to go Hey Siri or Ok Homey....

PS. I use Netatmo for my heating which integrates nicely

No, but it would have made it useful....

But not to it’s target audience, does it
