"To use your HomePod as an intercom, you can either use Siri or the Home app. You can send messages to all HomePods in your home or specify a specific room. You can also send and receive messages via iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or CarPlay. 


Using Siri:

  1. 1. Start a message:
  2. Say "Hey Siri, intercom [your message]" or "Hey Siri, announce [your message]". 
  3. 2. Send to a specific room:
  4. Say "Hey Siri, tell the office [your message]" or "Hey Siri, announce upstairs [your message]". 
  5. 3. Reply to a message:
  6. If the message was sent to the whole home, your reply will go to all HomePods. If it was specific to a room, your reply will go only to the device that sent the original message. 


Using the Home app:

  1. Open the Home app: On your iPhone or iPad, open the Home app. 
  2. Find the Intercom button: Tap the Intercom button. 
  3. Record your message: Tap and hold the microphone button, speak your message, and then release the button. 
  4. Send to a specific room: You can choose to send the message to all HomePods or specify a room. 

Additional tips:

  • Intercom notifications:
  • You can adjust intercom notification settings in the Home app and on individual HomePod devices, allowing you to choose when you receive notifications. 
  • Language:
  • If devices are using different languages, Intercom may not function properly. 
  • Multiple homes:
  • If you have multiple homes set up in HomeKit, you can choose which home's Intercom settings to use.
