I'm not the parent commenter but I'm using Siri on my HomePod minis all the time. Turning on / off lights. Regulating the temperature, setting timers, asking for temperature outside, stopping the music.

Unfortunately Siri isn't that great so you'll often run into "Waiting for it", "One moment" and "Working on it" replies.

Also often siri cannot tell the difference between on and off.
