Feel at home with Deezer on your HomePod

Great news for Homepod’s owners!!

I don’t know too much about how they work. Are linked to one mobile or can have more connections? I ask this because if there is a homepod in a family and you ask Siri to play a song, by default it will play that song with the default iPhone/iPad/iPod Deezer’s account , no? or the first iDevice of the list.

Finally!  Awesome news.

Yeah, increasing favorite limit was hard ( they beginn from 0 ) , this kind of things are easier , and i’m sure more will come!

“Note: it could take a bit longer than usual for your HomePod to accept Deezer as the music service, so please be patient “

Could this be clarified a little please? How on earth could anyone know what “usual” means as this has literally never happened before.

So does this take minutes, hours, days or something else?

When it is accepted does the change go from “Hey Siri, play music x on Deezer” to “Hey Siri, play music x”? Or will I always have to add “on Deezer” when requesting something to be played?

Really pleased this has arrived just looking for little bit more clarity on these things.

Totally understand @gmcoates 

We're talking about minutes, so you might not even be bothered about this.

And you can choose Deezer as the default service and ask for content without mentioning the name of our service

Great stuff, yeah I thought minutes and happy to wait as its a great update.

I have however done all the meetings for default on phone and HomePod however when I say “Hey Siri play my flow” I get told I need to continue on my phone, to prevent this I need to still add the “ on Deezer”, I will try other playlists and keep trying and see what happens.

Hmmm, interesting @gmcoates thanks for letting me know! I'll be passing this info right away to our devs working on the integration.

Just curiosity, have you restarted the devices after setting Deezer up to default?

Pretty sure I have restarted but I will try that again, will give everything a restart, phone, HomePod, watch the lot and keep trying.

Please understand I ain’t complaining I have Deezer music on the HomePod and that's awesome, still some kinks to be worked out but in general a great start.

I did ask for a playlist and was told it couldn’t be found although I know it exists, little stuff like that but will keep trying and enjoying, of course that might be because Siri isn’t the smartest smart assistant out there ;)

I understand, no worries @gmcoates super happy you can finally enjoy the integration!
Our devs actually came back to me to say the issue you referred to is on Apple's side, so they'll pass on the feedback and help smooth things out in due course
