Apple HomePod Oddity

I’m a bit addicted to HomePods. I also have a bit of an unusual house layout. I basically have two bedrooms and a bathroom connected with a hallway.

I like to wake up with my Apple Watch (told you I was addicted), and listen to music as I wake up and get moving for the day. I had set up a HomePod pair so that they would start playing the same music in each room. I can then hear the same music no matter which room I am in.

The latest update broke that. It changed the existing alarms to tone only.

I had to pair the two HomePods first, then add the alarms to each. Oddly I can’t do that with the Home app on my Mac, but can on my iPhone. The Mac app will only allow me to add a tone alarm.

I basically had to add the alarm to each home pod manually. A bit of a pain.
