The full-size HomePod is the audio centrepiece of a ROBOT smart home and a Home hub in one. Spatial audio with computational room sensing means the speaker continuously tunes its output to wherever it's placed; pair two for proper room-filling stereo, or place one in each main living area for AirPlay 2 multi-room audio that follows you through the house.

Because it's an Apple Home hub, the HomePod handles automations, runs scenes, and acts as the bridge for HomeKit-over-Thread accessories. Siri responds to voice from across the room. Built-in temperature and humidity sensors can trigger climate scenes.
