Apple HomeView has Siri built in for answering questions, managing everyday tasks and controlling compatible smart-home accessories. If voice activation isn’t working the way you want, you can change how Siri listens and responds directly from Settings.
Open Settings on HomeView and tap Siri. Under Listen On, you can enable Siri for HomeView and HomePod devices in your home. Use Listen For to choose the phrase or phrases you want to activate it, and Voice to select a different available Siri voice or variation.
Depending on your settings, say “Siri” or “Hey Siri” to begin. You can also swipe down from the top edge of HomeView’s screen to activate the assistant manually. An orange light in the top-right corner indicates that the microphone is being used. Apple’s HomeView documentation describes these options.
Siri AI is available in beta with HomeView software 27.2, but support varies by language and region. Personal-context features need a paired Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone or iPad running the required software, with Siri AI enabled in a supported language. The regular Siri controls don’t mean every advanced AI feature is available on every setup.
