I am considering purchasing the new Apple TV 4th generation and possibly also the new HomePod mini. I only have a few questions left. I hope you can help me with that.
The new Apple TV has microphones to listen to “hey Siri”. According to ChatGPT, it would also listen if the device is in standby (off). Of course, I don’t know if that’s correct. Assuming that’s how it works and I have my iPhone and the HomePod mini. Which device then responds to “hey Siri” and gives a voice message back as a response?
I also understood that you can set the HomePod speaker as the audio output in the settings of your Apple TV 4K. Does this only apply to Siri messages? I have a Samsung TV with a Samsung soundbar that is connected to the TV via HDMI. Of course, when I watch through the Apple TV, I want the sound to come through the soundbar instead of the HomePod, so I want Siri to go to the HomePod and the rest of the soundbar.
Thank you in advance for the response
