Honestly I have wondered about this for a long time, I already have homepods all around the house I would imagine given that chip it likely would not be too difficult to say that someone is in a given room.
I imagine that hardest part is setup, like would the UI just have you walk around with phone to define walls. What if the homepod moves?
Maybe I am over estimating the technology, but if I could ask "where are my keys" and it says "it is in the bedroom" it would be fantastic.
For everything that would be great, but I'm not the only person who has an Apple Airtag on their keys and wallet because of how fantastic that ability is.
I am confused by the second part, not sure what the problem with that is?
I can already ask the homepod "where are my keys" and it knows what airtag(keys) is mine. It just doesnt tell me by room, just pings it and if for some reason it isnt home it says the address.
But yeah, if there was somehow room level tracking I would have significantly more Airtags. Easily one of my favorite pieces of tech in a long time.
