Can you change the siri prompt on HomePod minis to something else but keep it "hey siri" on my iPhone so I can select which device responds? Like "hey siri" on phone and "hey HomePod" on HomePod minis?

Since purchasing a few HomePod minis, every single time I say "hey siri" the HomePods respond even if my phone is right next to me, and it drives me nuts. Usually when I use Siri it's to do something like add an item to my calendar, or to set an alarm etc, so I want my iPhone to respond.


The only workaround I've found is to disable "hey siri" on the HomePod minis which isn't ideal... for instance if I want to change the song or volume on the HomePod minis it would be nice to use the "hey siri" function in those instances. That brings me to my question.... Is there away to change the "prompt" for siri on the HomePod minis, and keep it as "Hey siri" on my phone? In other words is there a way to configure things so that when I say "Hey siri" my iPhone responds but when I say "Hey HomePod" the nearest HomePod mini responds?

iPhone 13, iOS 16
