The Apple HomePod mini smart speaker uses the S5 chip for computational audio that analyzes your music to optimize volume, adjust dynamic range, and control dynamic and passive radiators. It also offers a 360º acoustic waveguide for consistent sound.
It’s awesome that this smart home speaker can play perfectly in sync with other HomePod speakers. When you place two in the same room, they’ll pair intelligently to create rich, enveloping sound. Furthermore, it works with Siri, and it knows when your iPhone is nearby. It can access apps, find your phone, make calls, and provide personalized updates.
As we all know, HomePod mini has added some new features, such as home intercom system. But almost no one knows that it has a secret built-in sensor that can measure temperature and humidity. Apple has never revealed the existence of this component, and HomePod mini does not currently rely on the sensor’s related functions.
Apple has internally discussed the use of this sensor to determine room temperature and humidity and other use cases, so that the networked thermostat can adjust the temperature in different parts of the home based on real-time conditions. In addition, the sensor can also help HomePod mini automatically trigger other operations, such as turning the fan on or off based on the room temperature.
The secret sensor in the HomePod Mini, each with a length of 1.5 mm and a width of 1.5 mm, is built into the bottom edge of the smart speaker shell, near the power cord.
