Can I enable Find My (and ONLYonly Find My) on an iPad?

I'm setting up an old iPad to act as a "smart home controller" for visitors. (It's a few years old, but still able to run iOS 15.0.) As part of this, I'd like to turn off iCloud, so that they don't have access to my photos, files, and other personal stuff that's on iCloud. However, this (I think) means that "Find My" would also be disabled, and, in a perfect world, I'd like to keep that working.

Is there any way to do this? Keeping the iPad logged into iCloud with photos etc turned off in Settings does me no good, since the visitor can just turn Photos back on, without a password. Any

Any thoughts out there? Thanks!
