Can I shorten or customize Siri responses?

My most often use of Siri is with HomeKit. I would like to shorten or customize some responses. I ask Siri to turn off the tall bedroom light, and Siri responds with, "OK, the tall bedroom light is off." Is there a way for me to change it to just respond, "OK," "Light off," "Turning light off," or even just a ding?


I don't need to know every piece of info, but I still want a audible confirmation.


Thanks for help and suggestions.

No, that’s not possible. The responses are coded into Siri by Apple and they are not user editable. Users have no control at all over how Siri responds to a question.
