If you’re reading this, you’ve probably got a lot of Apple devices in your house. Apple is working on technology to get them all to listen to your house, and tell you at your desk when something is going on in another room.

If your house is not already full of Apple devices, then Apple would very much like to change that — and it’s looking at one way of making it very appealing. For Apple has been researching how any one of your devices could detect and recognize any other one — and what those other devices are hearing.
So if your baby cries in the bedroom while you’re making up formula in the kitchen, perhaps the HomePod mini on your bedside table could send an alert to your Apple Watch. Or maybe the iPad in your kitchen could recognize that your kettle has boiled and so ping your iPhone to say get down here and make the tea.
