HomePod Temperature And Humidity Not Showing, Not Working?
HomePod Temperature and Humidity not showing sensors not showing after OS 16.3 update? No Climate tab in the Home app and current indoor climate readings are missing from the selected room?
HomePod Not Showing Temperature And Humidity?
This issue has been reported by Vincent (HomePod 16.3 RC):
“Room temperature not showing. Humidity missing too.Why?”
We could replicate this unexpected behavior only when iPhone or iPad we’re not updated to iOS 16.3 respectively iPadOS 16.3!
HomePod Temperature And Humidity Sensors
Before you start troubleshooting please be aware that the HomePod climate feature is only available to the HomePod mini and the new HomePod 2.
Important: Apparently, the original HomePod is missing temperature and humidity sensors!
How To Fix HomePod Temperature And Humidity Not Showing
If you own the appropriate hardware, have updated to HomePod 16.3 and are still not seeing Temperature and Humidity readings in the Home app, be aware that iPhone, iPad and Mac have to be updated to iOS 16.3, iPadOS 16.3, macOS Ventura 13.2 or later!
Tip: Apple’s wireless smart speaker requires up to 30 minutes to calibrate before it starts showing room temperature and humidity! If you updated recently, please be patient!
1. Include in Home Summaries
This settings should be enabled by default, but if you played around with it here is how to activate:
- 1. Open Home app and tap on the HomePod that you want to show Climate data..
- 2. Scroll for Settings and tap Accessories.
- 3. Go for HomePodSensor name and tap on Status.
- 4. Turn On Include in Home Summaries.
5. Make sure that the same setting is selected for the HomePod humidity sensor too!
2. Restart HomePod
If everything is properly set but HomePod is still not showing temperature and humidity readings, reboot it. A fresh start could flush any minor glitches that could prevent the sensors from working properly.
How to: Home -> HomePod name -> Settings -> Reset HomePod -> Restart HomePod.

I’ve updated all software as required and been patient for my HomePod mini sensor to calibrate, but it’s still not working I can’t get any temperature or humidity data! Pls help!
Thanks for reporting. Try to remove HomePod from your Home and reconfigure it. If not you might have to reconfigure your entire Home. More details here:

What if imac cant be updated cause its older?
Unfortunately, in this case you won’t be able to use this new feature.
HomePod mini, iPad and iPhone all updated to 16.3. I restarted all devices and the temperature/humidity still doesn’t show. The HomePod mini doesn’t show any accessories in its settings menu.
Have you waited an hour to give the sensors time to calibrate?
Same problem here
HomePod mini, iPad Pro, iPhone 13mini, also everything updated to 16.3 and I see the temp.and humidity in home app on iPad but nothing on my iPhone.. Tried everything and nothing changed…still having the same problem like Evan..
Thanks for reporting. You might have to reconfigure your Home from scratch. Have you tried that?
