As of right now, we’re still waiting on the software update that enables this sensor to roll out to HomePod mini users. iOS 16.3 will be released to all users next week, alongside a new version of the HomePod software.

It’s likely that these updates will be the ones to enable the sensor and expose the temperature and humidity data to users via the Home app.

Apple also says that the HomePod mini will soon support Sound recognition, a feature also touted by Apple as a feature for the new full-size HomePod. This feature, however, isn’t expected to launch until later this spring, so it’s unlikely to be included in next week’s software updates.
