I-HomePod Mini izisa into entsha ekudala ilindelwe kwi-HomeKit: ukuhambelana nayo "Umsonto" wokudibanisa, ovumela ukuba izixhobo ngokwazo zinxibelelane ukulibala malunga neebhulorho kunye nabaphindayo.
Ukwenza inethiwekhi yakho yezixhobo ezihambelana ne-HomeKit kufuna "i-Accessory Central" njengento ebalulekileyo. Zonke izixhobo ze-HomeKit kufuneka ziqhagamshele kuyo, mhlawumbi nge-WiFi okanye ngeBluetooth, ukuze zisebenze ngokufanelekileyo kwaye ziqhube zonke ii-automations, ukuze zikwazi ukufikelela ukude ukusuka naphi na emhlabeni, njl. Xa uqhagamshelo kwiziko ngokusebenzisa WiFi, akukho iingxaki ezinkulu, kodwa xa uqhagamshelwe ngeBluetooth, kunye noluhlu olulinganiselwe kakhulu, olu xhulumaniso kwiphaneli yokulawula ngamanye amaxesha alunakwenzeka kwaye kuxa kufuneka wongeze elinye iziko le-accessory, okanye ibhulorho okanye umphinda.
Ngokufika kwe-HomePod Mini, le ngxaki iya kusonjululwa kakhulu, kuba isithethi esincinci se-Apple sihambelana noqhagamshelo lwe "Thread", oluthi, kusetyenziswa iBluetooth ephantsi, ivumela izixhobo ngokwazo ukuba zinxibelelane. ukuseka inethiwekhi ye-MESH evumela wonke umntu ukuba aqhagamshelwe kwikomkhulu, nokuba akukho ngqo. Ngokomzekelo, ukuba unomlawuli wokunkcenkceshela egadini engakwazi ukuxhuma kwi-Apple TV kwigumbi lokuhlala, iya kudibanisa kwiplagi ehlakaniphile kwi-hallway, edibaniswe ne-Apple TV.
Olu hlobo loqhagamshelwano lusebenzisa iBluetooth, ngoko izincedisi ezininzi kwimarike unokuyisebenzisa ngohlaziyo olulula lwe-firmware. U-Eve, omnye wabavelisi bezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ze-HomeKit, sele ebhengeze ukuba izixhobo zayo ziya kuhambelana kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo ngohlaziyo oluya kuvela kwisicelo saso sika-Eva se-HomeKit (unxibelelwano), kwaye i-Nanoleaf sele ibhengeze iimveliso zayo ezihambelanayo ne-Thread.
Kwaye esi sisiqalo nje, kuba "umsonto"sisiphumo somsebenzi ngaphakathi kweProjekthi ye-CHIP, apho i-Apple, i-Google, i-Amazon kunye ne-Zigbee ithatha inxaxheba ekufezekiseni umgangatho wendalo yonke ovumela ukuhambelana phakathi kwazo zonke iimveliso ze-automation zasekhaya, kungakhathaliseki ukuba luhlobo luni okanye lulo naliphi na iqonga. Khumbula, ukuze ukwazi ukusebenzisa le "Tread" yokudibanisa kuyimfuneko ukuba kubekho i-HomePod Mini njengeziko le-accessory, i-HomePod eqhelekileyo ayivumeli.
