    Will we see an update that provides the original HomePods with the Thread feature found on the HomePod mini? I understand that it can be enabled via software, if Apple is so inclined.

    See equality72521's response below for what the Thread feature is about? It is found on the HomePod mini.
    I’ve had LIFX globes (WiFi) for a while. There is always a delay (a second or more) and can often become unresponsive. 

    I bought some nanoleaf lights and strips (BTLE and Thread) in anticipation of my coming HomePod mini. 

    Still got delays of a second or more (even up to 5). 

    Having them switch over to thread with the HomePod mini is night and day. Their response is near instantaneous now. Just need all other HomeKit gear to get on board with thread.
