How can I control Apple Music on HomePod mini usage for my child?

I would like to subscribe student option for my 11 yrs child. I bought HomePod mini for him and would like to control the on and off time. Is it possible to have that student plan on my phone and he use it via wifi at home in his room ?

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 my kids use a HomePod if they don't have phones? I want to get a HomePod so that my children can listen to music. They will want to be able to create and listen to playlists. It looks like enabling voice recognition for them requires that they have their own iOS devices — phones or iPads -- which they don't. Is there a way for them to use the HomePod for music if they don't own a device?

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!
