Hi everyone,

About two years ago I bought an Apple TV and started using it. It was the first device to be added to my HomeKit Home. Then I moved and put the Apple TV into storage until recently, and as I began to use the Home app more, the constant notification that the Apple TV was unavailable became a nuisance, so I removed it.

Now I've reconnected it. The Apple TV shows up as a hub in Home and it's still working as it did before I put it into storage, but I can't find a way to add it back as a tile into Home, nor any way to see it there. Short of resetting it (which I'd rather not do), is there a way that I've overlooked to add it back into Home?

Go into the settings within the AppleTV and under HomeKit, add it to a room. Should show up after you do that.
