The main Home page in the Apple Watch Home app has a list of HomeKit accessories. For me, it’s a bunch TV’s and I can’t see how to change this. Does any one know how or why those accessories are selected to be featured on the main page? I don’t think those are the most used which would make sense but having the favorites there would be nice. Can’t figure out the algorithm or how to change them.
Got a tip for us?

I don’t mean AppleTV’s, I mean HomeKit TV’s. Anyways, yeah I prefer any of my AppleTVs (all hardwired) to be the active hub over a HomePod. There is a huge difference in performance between the two, on my end at least.
Interesting, I had the opposite experience.... When using an Apple TV as a hub I kept getting "device not responding" messages and constant disconnects.... Since switching to using homepod it's been solid with no issues.
Out of curiosity, was your AppleTV connected over WiFi or Ethernet. I have 10 all connected over Ethernet and I can select any one of them and everything runs solid. Never tried over WiFi but my HomePods as hubs get all the no response and lagging with automations
Mine are all connected over WiFi. So perhaps that’s why. How in the world are you able to run 10 Ethernet connections lol?
It’s a lot more than 10 but I was getting sick of poor HomeKit performance so I had a GC come and run Ethernet to every room and corner in my house. I needed it for the UniFi AP’s since they work using PoE. Can never have too much Ethernet. I hardwire everything possible.
