Now the company has announced it will be pushing an update for ALL HomePod Models, which is due sometime next week.
According to AppleInsider.com:
The HomePod mini and new HomePod have built-in temperature and humidity sensors that’ll be activated by the update. Users with multiple HomePods across their home will be able to see the current temperature and humidity of each room within the Apple Home app.
Siri is also getting more powerful with new commands and response protocols. Users can set recurring home automations just by speaking to Siri, and actions that don’t have an obvious visible response will end with a tone once completed…
Apple is also opening up Find My data to Siri on the HomePod. Users will be able to ask for the locations of friends and family if it is actively being shared.
