Control your home on HomePod
Control Apple TV using Siri on HomePod
Start a show: Use Siri to play the show or movie you would like to watch. For example, say “Hey Siri, watch ‘Ted Lasso’ on the Living Room Apple TV.” Pause, rewind, and fast-forward: Say something like “Hey Siri, pause the Living Room Apple TV” or “Hey Siri, rewind the Living Room Apple TV 30 seconds.” Turn subtitles on or off, or change the language: Say something like “Hey Siri, turn on English subtitles on the Living Room TV.” Turn Apple TV on or off: Say something like “Hey Siri, turn off the Living Room TV.” If your connected display supports HDMI CEC, the Apple TV will also turn the connected display on or off.
Control accessories using HomePod
Control a single accessory: Say a command using the name you gave the accessory in the Home app. For example, say “Hey Siri, turn on the porch light.” Control accessories in a room: Say, for example, “Hey Siri, turn off the lights in here” to control the accessories that are in the same room as HomePod. Say something like “Hey Siri, turn off the lights in the bedroom” to specify another location. Activate a scene: Set up scenes in the Home app to control a number of accessories all at once. After a scene is defined, refer to it by name. For example, say “Hey Siri, good night” to run a scene named “good night” that turns off your lights, sets the thermostat, and draws the window shades. Create an automation: To set up a recurring automation say something like “Hey Siri, turn on the lights at sunset everyday.” You can delete or modify recurring automations in the Home app. Check accessory status: Say something like “Hey Siri, is the porch light on?” Check the status of a security accessory: You can use HomePod to lock or check the status of door locks and other smart home security accessories. Say something like “Hey Siri, is the front door locked?” To unlock or open security accessories, you must complete your request on your iPhone or iPad because unlocking them requires authentication using Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode.
