How to set multiple HomePod Mini at home?

I‘ve just got one HomePod mini set up at master bedroom using my personal Apple ID. I plan to buy one at Living Room and one at my son’s bedroom.

The questions is which Apple ID shall I use to set up my son’s bedroom? My son’s Apple ID or mine?

If use mine, can my son’s calendar be read by Siri? Or my personal details be disclosed to my son? Thanks.

HomePod mini, 16

Best way to set up HomePod mini for a family intercom I want to set up three HomePod minis in my house. One in the living room/kitchen and one each of my children's room. The main purpose is for the intercom function. I have two questions. Do I set up each HomePod mini using my iPhone or the main HomePod mini with my phone and the other two homed minis with my children's iPhones? I do not want them to be able to disable the intercom ability. When I broadcast a message and my kids are wearing their apple AirPods pros, will the broadcast message go to their AirPods Pros?

HomePod mini Hi, I have currently an Apple Music Account, an IPhone 12 and the latest IPad Pro. I would like to buy a HomePod Mini for my 8 years old son and I have a few questions before. I understood how to set up the HomePod Mini via the Home App but once installed what does the HomePod require to work without any phone or iPad nearby? Is it actually possible? I mean, my son has no phone yet nor an IPad, and I would not like to keep my phone or iPad nearby just to make the HomePod work. Is it sufficient to have a internet connection to make it work? And it would only be to play music from Apple Music in his room. I guess I would need to setup a family account on Apple Music, right? I would really be happy if someone could answer all those questions because I am unable to find anything helpful on the net. Thanks in advance, Alain

Can HomePod be used with Android? Hello. I have a HomePod Mini and I want to leave it to my brothers because I'm going on vacation far away but they have Android. The only one in the family who has an iPhone is me. Could they use the HomePod without having to have an iPhone? Basically my question is if they can listen to music, podcasts and answer me on the intercom by saying "Siri, answer intercom..." or "Siri, play music". Thank you!

My suggestion would be to set up your HomePod mini with your Apple ID, and the HomePod mini in your sons bedroom with his Apple ID, so that your and his personal information are kept separate.

Additionally, the music choices you make in Apple Music will then be stored separately for your individual Accounts, so that the suggestions in Apple Music don’t mix up.
