Anyone who wants to use Intercom will need to be added as a person with access to the user’s home. It can be done by entering the Home Settings screen and tapping on the “Invite People” Option in the settings.
How to Use Intercom to Send a Message to a HomePod
Intercom messages can be sent to the HomePods throughout a home using Siri on any company devices. Just activate Siri on your device and then say “Intercom” and speak your message.
