I have two Apple TVs, and one of them (an Apple TV 4K) was functioning as a homekit hub.
So I noticed that it was being really chatty on the Internet, and I never access my HomeKit stuff from offsite so I figured I didn't need HomeKit Hub at all, so I disabled it on both Apple TVs to see if that was the cause of the chattiness.
I was immediately pleased to notice that HomeKit seems to be respond a LOT faster now. "Hey siri, set office lights to 50%" happens almost immediately, whereas before there was a two second delay. Has anyone else noticed this? I mean, I'm glad the delay is gone but if I ever need to use a HomeKit Hub in the future, I'd like to know why it was so slow and fix it.
(The chattiness has stopped for now, by the way. It's not really a huge deal, I'd just prefer devices not be needlessly active if I'm not using them.)
