homekit hub missing on apple tv

[john991]

I seem to have an issue under tvOS 10.0.1 in that under iCloud settings I do not see any option for homekit hub. (no option to connect or disconnect).

Under my iPad I can connect to homekit hub on my iPad and can control my lights inside or remotely.

Any idea why I can't use my Apple TV 4 for a homekit hub?



Thanks

I had his problem running tvOS beta. I had to reset the Apple TV and reinstall download all apps. It was a pain and not really want to do it again.

I am not running any tvOS beta software, just the general public release software...still can't find home hub...

I'm running the released tvOS 10.0.1 now and same issue. Hopefully Apple will fix this asap.

Turn off your iPad. If you're using two-factor authentication, it will show up on the Apple TV. I think Apple assumes that if you have Homekit enabled on your iPad, you're using it for a hub.

Once enabled on the Apple TV, it doesn't seem to care if you access it on the iPad again.

This worked for me! Thanks! I had two-factor on already. I signed out of iCloud on my 4th gen Apple TV and then restarted it and signed back into iCloud, and there it was. All is good now!
