Hey SIRI is simply a replacement for pressing and holding the home button.
I can’t remember if Hey SIRI became available when the phone is not plugged in 
with iOS 10 or just now with iOS 11. I think it was iOS 10, before it only 
worked when the phone was plugged into power.
It also used to respond universally to anybody saying Hey SIRI, now when you 
turn on this feature you have to “train” SIRI by saying certain things.
I quite like this feature because I can have the phone sitting on my desk or on 
the counter in the kitchen and without ever touching the phone I can say “Hey 
SIRI, what is the time” or “Hey SIRI, set a timer for 10 minutes” just to give 
two examples.
You can say “Hey SIRI” and wait for the beep and then ask your question or say 
your request or you can simply say it all in one sentence, this does work very 
well.
We have most of our lights at home equipped with Philipps Hue bulbs so I can 
ask SIRI to turn on or off a particular light/room and now with our Schlage 
Sense doorlock if I know somebody was going to stop buy I can just say “Hey 
SIRI, open the front door” when whoever is coming rings the bell.
Since the noise of the motor for the lock is very noticeable most people sort 
of assume that once they hear this it’s OK to come in.

Sieghard

Subject: Hey Siri Question

Hi All,

I've never noticed, mainly because I don't say, Hey Siri, hardly ever, but when 
you call on Siri with the, Hey Siri, voice command, is Siri supposed to reply 
verbally along with sound, or with just the sound alert?  Running the SE with 
10.33.  Thanks much.
Take care.  Mike.  Dodgers, try again next year!
