Roku made a handful of announcements this morning, and two of them are particularly noteworthy to Apple users. The company announced the rollout of Roku OS 10, bringing HomeKit and AirPlay 2 to its HD streaming devices. There is also a new Voice Remote Pro with a dedicated Apple TV + button …
The Roku Voice Remote Pro is compatible with all models of Roku TVs, audio devices, and select streaming players. It will cost $ 29.99. This is the first remote with a dedicated Apple TV + button, and it’s positioned next to the dedicated buttons for Hulu, Disney +, and Netflix.
The Voice Remote Pro also has a rechargeable battery and a lost remote search feature, similar to what has been said for Apple’s upcoming Apple TV remote.
Remote search lost: Say “Hey Roku, where’s my remote?” or use the free Roku mobile app (available for iOS and Android) and listen to a little chime to locate everyone’s favorite TV companion.
Rechargeable battery: Keep the remote control powered on for months on a single charge. It works with any standard USB charger
Hands free: Forget the remote control. Just say “Hey Roku” and a command to turn on the TV, adjust the volume, control playback and more without lifting a finger.
Roku also announced Roku OS 10, which brings AirPlay 2 and HomeKit to new devices:
Apple AirPlay 2 et HomeKit – In addition to select 4K Roku devices, Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit will now also be available on Roku HD streaming devices, such as the Roku Express and select Roku HD TV models. With AirPlay 2, you can stream, control and share your favorite content directly from your iPhone, iPad or Mac to compatible Roku devices, bringing the experience to the big screen. Compatible Roku devices also support HomeKit, which allows you to easily and securely control Roku devices using Siri or the Home app on your Apple devices.
Roku OS 10 has started rolling out to select Roku players and is expected to roll out to all supported streaming devices including the new Roku Express 4K +, Roku Streambar Pro, and all Roku TV models in the coming weeks. .
Roku began rolling out support for HomeKit and AirPlay 2 to select smart TVs and streaming devices last year, and the release of Roku OS 10 further expands availability. Roku also added support for Apple TV + and the Apple TV app last year.
Support for AirPlay 2 on Roku products will allow you to easily share or duplicate content from your iPhone, iPad or Mac to your TV. HomeKit support allows your TV to integrate with the Home app on your device, manage playback with Siri, add your TV to scenes and automations, and more.
Some of Roku’s other announcements today include the Roku Express 4K, its latest streaming stick that will be available in the US for just $ 39.99. You can learn more here.
