HomeKit Apple TVOS issues?

[Bazooka-joe]

So I can’t get my Philips lights to work anymore with my ATV. HomeKit just says not responding. They work with Alexa and they work with the Philips Hue app but they will not work with HomeKit or Siri. If I switch off ATV so that the one of the HomePods acts as the hub, the lights start workjng from HomeKit. I’ve disconnected HomeKit from the Phillips hue app and reconnected it successfully. Turn off Wi-Fi and reconnect to Wi-Fi and rebooted my router. My LogIcircle Driveway Camera works but it seems to be all my hue lights that just won’t respond to Siri if the ATV is sct8ng as the hub. HomeKit is definitely connected to the Philips hue bridge as when I remove lights from the Phillips hue app, they disappear from the HomeKit app.
So if I switch the ATV off and use my HomePods as hubs, then the lights work perfectly. Apple are absolutely baffled and have taken some screenshots and forwarded onto engineering.

try rebooting all of your hubs, unplug them all, and then go back to the beginning and plug them in again. Having them all off at the same time seems to help.

and rebooting your router also can help, but you've already done that.

Yeah, I did unplug all my hubs abd then plugged to ATV in leaving the HomePods unplugged but made no difference. I have just found the issue and for some reason I have had to move the hue bridge closer to the ATV. Everything has now fired into life which is most bizarre, as I’ve never had a signal problem before.
