Just installed TVOS 14 and realized that all the Home accessories and cameras are now viewable on the TV. This is fine for me and my wife, but the kids use the TV more than we do, and I really don't want them messing around with the HomeKit accessories on the TV. Is there a way to keep the TV signed in as a Home hub, but prevent access to the accessories and cameras?
 
I don't think there is a way to block Homekit access in the control center. But from what I can tell you can only access camera feeds and select Homekit scenes. What actions specifically are you concerned about?
 
It is the HK scenes I am worried about. Some of my favourite scenes include arming the alarm, which I don't want the kids to do by mistake.
