Thanks OP. I'm heavy into the ecosystem and always thought about getting one, but never looked into it because I have googles and Alexa's all over the house.

Grabbed one because impulse buys are my thing. It's a disease I caught from slickdeals almost 10 years ago
Ā·
Repped, thanks for sharing. I was previously buying HomePod Minis refurbished from Ebay. I think the best price I ever got was $45 plus tax, but the seller increased to $60 a while ago.

These work great as Matter (Thread) and Bluetooth network extenders, they have a built-in thermostat and hygrometer, and in a stereo pair, they sound surprisingly good for their size and cost. Also, love or hate Siri, these work great for issuing commands to her.
Ā·
True, but I view this ability as a kind of negative because Apple don't let you manually select the device you want to use as a HomeKit hub. I have many HomeKit devices that run nicely with an ethernet-connected Apple TV as a hub. But when it restarts to install software updates, one of my HomePod Minis always becomes the new hub. Eventually I'll notice that the HomeKit network is slow to respond, so then I have to manually restart all of the HomePod Minis so that the Apple TV becomes the new hub again. It's kind of a pain and even sometimes requires me to unplug the HomePods for a while before the Apple TV will become the new hub.

Had a HomePod mini, hated it, did not work well at all with Spotify, and Siri is genuinely inferior to Alexa, but if you're hellbent it's a good price

Good deal. Even if you don't use it much as a speaker it is also a Homekit hub.
That and it's a thread border router.

Very helpful insight. Thx.

Although not the best deal I have seen reported, Aafes has the 128G ATV on sale for $129 ($20 off).

Seems like a Wi-Fi problem. My Wi-Fi connected hub works just fine.

Truly a slick deal. This is the cheapest I've seen by about $30 and with no tax it's even better

I'm sure I can google this, but would rather hear from you all.
If I have alexa's all over the place, what would be the use for this vs an echo.
I am deep in apple ecosystem, but never thought about these.

Boy, that doesn't say a lot for Siri, because Alexa doesn't know shit.

It's totally a WiFi issue: WiFi is incredibly slow and has high latency compared to gigabit Ethernet. My home has 92 HomeKit devices and 5 cameras recording to HomeKit Secure Video. Trust me, a HomePod Mini will always lag with such a system compared to a wired Apple TV.
