How-to integrate HomePod Mini Sensors into Home Assistant When Direct Integration Isn't Possible

How to get this beta version? Thanks

https://beta.apple.com

I’m not sure if other beta users have similar issues, but it seems like 18.4 beta 1 was good. However, since then I have been seeing “updating” problems with some devices, thus causing my Shortcuts to time-out and prevent all of the sensors from passing data to HA.

Have a look here: How to install the HomePod beta software to test new features

I’m running HomePod OS 18.4 (22L5240e). No issues so far.

Looks like a hard power cycle of devices having said issues seemed to resolve my problems. Looking into a method to ignore/skip those devices that have “no reponse” so the rest of the shortcut runs successfully. So far it looks like a x-callback-url is the current method people are using to work around shortcut process failures. Now just need to wrap my head around how – or even if – it can be implemented. Really wish Shortcut’s Home integration allowed variables to select HomeKit devices.

Thank you very much! I will have a look.

Hello community

I wondered if this approach still worked. I have tried to follow all the steps but to no avail. Could anyone help me?
