HomePod Renaming

Once you rename your HomePod, will it respond to the new name and not answer/respond if you say "Hey Siri"? We don't want the HomePod picking up when we say "Hey Siri." It's interfering with the commands we want to use ONLY on the iPhone.

HomePod Mini is unable to provide ‘Contacts’ details when asked via Siri. Hi there. On my iPhone and iPad I can ask for a ‘Contacts’ address details, or age etc and Siri will give me the details. If I ask via the HomePod Mini it say’s “I can’t get that info for you here”. Is this a limitation of the HomePod capability, or do I have a problem?

Siri on HomePod Mini answers when Im trying to ask Siri on my iPhone to do something specific to my iPhone If I want Siri to set an alarm on my iPhone and I am close to my HomePod Mini, Siri on the HomePod will answer and it will set the alarm on the HomePod. Sometime I set the alarm as a reminder of something in a few hours and I may not even be in the house when I need the alarm to to off. I know I can disable "Hey Siri" on the HomePod but that defeats the whole purpose if I keep haing to tourn it on and off all the time. Is there someway I can force a way to distinguish between them? or some other workaround? Can I turn down the sesitiviy for Siri on the HomePod?
