Is it possible to control an Apple TV without connecting a TV or monitor to it? I currently have my old Apple TV HD connected directly to my network switch via ethernet but its sole reason for existence is to act as a secondary HomeKit Hub. While it's not impossible for me to connect a spare computer monitor to it via HDMI, it's rather cumbersome so I'm wondering if I can control it remotely from my Mac Mini using some sort of RDP connection?

With the release of the new OS updates that were pushed out yesterday, I suddenly realized that I didn't have a good or easy way to make sure this specific Apple TV was up to date so I'm hoping that I can just remote into it and do it that way but if not, that's fine.
