Apple homepod - handover music without iOS device?
Good morning,
First of all thanks for the people willing to assist in this topic.
Recently I got an Apple Homepod to play as well as radio stations that are publicly available and Apple Music.
Siri at this point is not that very usable in my native language so we often use an iPhone/iPad to start a radio station.
But when starting a radio station from an iOS device seems to bind the stream to that device, and not the home pod.
We see a large battery drain for example, or if I leave the house the streaming stops;
So the handover is only partial.
Is there a way to move a stream over for 100% independent of the iOS device?
I get that for Apple Music you would need a proper subscription to allow more than one device, but radio stations should be able to stream on their own like a Sonos box.
That being said, Siri would be a solution but as long as it doesn't properly work in my native language (Flemish dutch) an alternative would be nice.
Thanks
Kristof
