Hi ya'all,
We're pretty excited as we are expecting 4 HomePods next week. To prepare for the big day, I'm trying to find out how to best set them up. We are a family where everyone has her/his own AppleID and we use Family Sharing (incl. the Apple Music Family thing).
Today, I've set up a home in the Home app and invited all family members to this. Once we have the HomePods - should everyone set them up on their device/AppleID and add to the same home (assuming that you can add devices to a home where you are a member of and which you don't 'own'), or should I set up all HomePods under my account and then give everyone permissions to 'their' device?
Surprisingly hard to find out on the internet, though I assume it's quite a common use case. Our preference would be for each of us to set the HomePod up individually and add to the same home, but of course we all want to use Intercom so that has to work!
Thanks for any suggestions!
