    • @Mashtips
      @Mashtips  3 года назад +3

      Robert, Thank you for watching the video.
      I guess you already paired the mini with your iPhone. Once you paired, the HomePod mini settings can access from iPhone "Home" app (built-in with iOS).
      1, Open Home app on iPhone
      2, The available HomeKit devices including the HomePod Mini will list on the screen. Tap and Hold HomePod Mini icon.
      3, This will open the HomePod screen.
      4, Scroll down and tap on the settings icon on the right-bottom corner.
      You can see the above instructions with screenshots here: mashtips.com/reset-restart-update-homepod/
      Hope this helps, Have fun with the HomePod mini.

  • @michaelblazin4093
    @michaelblazin4093 Год назад

    The use as a border router to a Thread Network not mentioned? That is why I have one. Many IOT devices have opted to go Thread vs. direct Wifi connections. You turn on the device and it finds the Thread network accessed via the mini. Then you get remote access via HomeKit.
    Not sure why the regular HomePod does not offer the feature. Apple TV 4K also offers it, but not being a gamer and preferring pre 1990s movies and shows, I doubt that I will go 4K as long as my existing screens still work.

    I’m a long-time Apple user & can’t recall ever needing to lookup instructions for a new device - but even tho I love my HomePod minis, I get frustrated that I need to manually AirPlay them for my IPad/iPhone as they are connected to my AppleTV .. would love a video to go thru the very basic setup as my smart home stuff ( just a few lamps) are connected to Alexa & I’m kind of in smart home wilderness & need to set everything up to one location
    *** I blame Apple Home for this confusion - rather than suffering from the over-explaining that many/most apps have, Home is confusing and unhelpful and in no way intuitive .. so, I’m relying on people like yourself to help navigate .. TY for the great video & info

Also, when you plug your HomePod mini into a non-standard power adapter that isn’t rated 20W, orange light will flash.
