For my use case, yes. Siri is okay at following commands if you keep them simple and never vary your commands (turn on the lights in the living room, vs turn on the living room lights). She’s not great at much else. If you use Apple Music, a HomePod is still a good choice. If you don’t, then Apple doesn’t do Amazon Music, Pandora, etc. either. The HomePods are also much more expensive than putting echo dots everywhere if that is a consideration. I bought a bunch of Echo Dots in Prime Day a few years back because they were half off, and the HomePod mini hadn’t been released yet. For less than the price of a HomePod I could have a smart speaker in every room of my house, including the garage, shed, bathrooms, etc.

I’m not knocking the other smart speakers out there if they fit your use case. I am saying that the HomePods are intentionally limited to keep 3rd parties out. That’s a deal breaker for me, but it might not be for you.

I’ve got something similar. Pretty much everything I have is Homekit compatible and I run my automations through that. The latest version of Homekit supports having a log which is nice too.

I still have an echo device in every room though because Siri sucks, Apple won’t allow Spotify integration on Homepods, and I enjoy the announce and music group features of the Echo devices. Until Apple fixes those things, I’m going to stick with Alexa for voice control.
