Has anyone seen an issue where the Apple TV serving as the hub has to have a TV turned on to properly AirPlay the automation audio to a speaker in another room? I thought that it didn't matter if the hub has a TV on or not since it is just to AirPlay 2 to the intended speaker.
I’ve just recently started playing with HomeKit automations involving audio, and I noticed that the automation works as intended when the TV is turned on, at least to start the automation. If I have a series of automations (think similar to switching audio programs a few times at certain times in a sequence in a 1 hour time period while getting dressed in the morning), the sound/airplay works once it starts and then turn the TV off, but it will not start up the audio/airplay if the tv has been off for a while.
The audio source is Apple Music, I have several (7) Apple TVs, for which all but 1 are ATV 4K (one of them is the lastest one, the not 4K is the 4th Gen HD), and I have several speakers that are AirPlay 2, including Sonos, WiiM Amps, and an old AirPort Express that is AP2 compatible--they all show up in the Home App. I don't have any HomePods yet. So far, I'm not getting much out of Reddit, either, so I thought that I'd try here.
