The Siri operated HomePod not only plays music but will also help in assisting and controlling household tasks and smart home accessories.

Just say “Hey Siri, turn on the lights” or “cool the room” or “lower the shades.”

A wide range of accessories work with Apple’s HomeKit platform — from air conditioners to garage doors to security cameras. Just add an accessory to the Home app, then control it with your voice on HomePod, the company said on itswebsite.

Apple will first launch the limited edition withonly around 500,000 units in the US, UK, and Australia.

The tech giant will be manufacturing the speaker in collaboration with Taiwanese firm Inventec. Also, expectations are that Foxconn may join the partnership in 2018.
