Otherwise you can order the US version here. A power adapter is included, otherwise there are no differences to the DE version. The language can be changed to German without any problems. I received the HomePod there within 5 working days.

Dear Oliver68
The HomePod is officially *not* distributed by Apple in Switzerland. In concrete terms, this means that it is an import. This generally takes longer. In the current situation, this may be delayed even more.
Apart from that: the people who write newsletters are employed to do just that. Not for the acquisition of equipment. Take a look at how many employees Digitec has :)
Unfortunately, we do not have any more precise information on the availability of this item at the moment. As soon as we have received an update on availability from our supplier, we will post this information accordingly on our homepage or on your order.
Since the Homepod is not officially available in Switzerland, Digitec has to import it. Different suppliers have different prices. Differences may therefore arise.
Prices are based on supply and demand, suppliers and availability of goods. For this reason, prices vary very regularly and may differ from one site to another. In addition, the Community is made for claims regarding the ownership and use of products. For all other questions or complaints, please contact customer service. (It is also possible that the price will change in the near future).
PS:
The Weather Station is on WiFi and can therefore be found by HomeKit.
Weather Station and modules communicate via Low Energy Bluetooth (but I haven't checked that).
That is possible. But the devices must be in a common WLAN. Simply connecting via cable does not work. It can be stupid on the road if you don't have your router with you!
Yes, it is possible with the Shortcuts app from Apple. There it is also possible to program the Hue lights.
Without the iPhone, I'm not sure if it works.
I have a HomePod mini and a Sonos One in my home. Both devices can play AirPlay 2, so when I play music, I can choose where it should be played. Only on one of the devices at a time or absolutely synchronously on both at the same time.
The best thing to do is to contact our customer service directly at https://helpcenter.digitec.ch/hc.... Your request can then be examined individually.
Many people have already asked about the HomePods mini, and I have ordered one myself. Apple does not officially sell HomePods in Switzerland, which is why Digitec Galaxus AG has to buy them abroad and then import them. As soon as they are back in stock abroad, where demand remains high, they will be available here again. I think we will have to be patient a little longer.
So.... stay cool! I wanted to buy one at the end of december at the store around the corner... the salesman explained to me that major the current situation: Corona, big demand only very small quantities, if any come at all... they were talking about the end of march.
"It's best to check back every now and then" he said... Nä woche Spätter muss er Schliessen...
And so I ordered it here in the middle of January... and after several postponements it arrived yesterday...
So stay cool.... it's cheaper now too😉
Currently it's not easy.... But you can order in.... Other than a PS5...that's something.... and in three months at the latest you will have the part😉....
Kind regards Beni
