HomePod Mini sensors “In calibration” for weeks

Hi, I bought a homepod mini to complete my smart home. I immediately wanted to test the sensors of this product but after a week they were still "in calibration". so I took it to the apple store and they changed it for me. now for a week I have this new but it is the exact same practice. How can I fix?

Cheers,

Riccardo

How many months does it take for a HomePod Mini to calibrate? How many months does it take for a HomePod Mini to calibrate? Once upon a time, my HomePod Mini worked fine. It communicated well with my so-called 'smart plugs' which are nothing of the sort, and upon one of the iOS updates, it calibrated for both temperature and humidity. Now it only functions as Siri input device and a very expensive bluetooth speaker. I've given up trying to use it as a HomeKit home hub, but now after resets, several calls to Apple, and a trip to an Apple Store, it is still calibrating to set temperature and humidity. My question is: how many months does it take to calibrate?

Climate broken AGAIN in HomePod/homepod mini after tvOS 18.2 It was going so well after Apple knackered the climate features in one of the tvOS 17.x updates, but now they’ve done it again with 18.2. I’m assuming I’m not alone in having this issue? HomePod 2nd gen and four HomePod minis all upgraded to tvOS 18.2 last week and all showing “No Response” for temp/humidity when I check the home app on my iPhone 12mini running iOS 18.2. Checking the individual HomePods gear icons in the home app under Accessories for the separate temp/humidity sensors shows “This accessory is not responding.” When I interrogate the HomePod 2 directly and ask the temperature/humidity it answers that the sensor didn’t respond, however the HomePod minis will answer (correctly - I have a small digital temp/humidity monitor) and then state the sensor failed to respond 😅 An additional wrinkle is that the home app on my 4th gen iPad Air running iPadOS 18.2 shows a red dot on the gear icon for each HomePod/homepod mini, indicating update available, but when I tap it the bubble with the upgrade button quickly disappears. This isn’t true of the home app on my iPhone. So looks like something goofed up here. I’d hate to do yet another factory reset on these things just for this - especially given when I tried that for this issue in the past it had no effect, so hopefully tvOS 18.2.1 isn’t far behind!

Hello Ricky_Marga,

We'd be happy to get you headed in the right direction. "Temperature and humidity sensing is optimized for indoor, domestic settings, when ambient temperatures are around 15ºC to 30ºC and relative humidity is around 30% to 70%. Accuracy may decrease in some situations where audio is playing for an extended period of time at high volume levels. HomePod requires some time to calibrate the sensors immediately after starting up before results are displayed." You can learn more here: Check the temperature and humidity of a room - Apple Support
