I just noticed that with the last tvOS update the system asked me to tell where the AppleTV was located. One of the suggested options was "entertainment room". This caught my interest, since I had just installed the Hue Sync app on my Mac, which also tells you to choose a room as your "entertainment room". As far as I can remember, AppleTV never mentioned this term before.

Which leads me to hope for a Hue Sync plugin/app on AppleTV, so alle content played from your AppleTV could be synced with your Hue lights :)

Wishful thinking? :rolleyes:
 
The room setting is related to Airplay 2 (you can change the room in Settings/Airplay/Room after the initial setup). Apple TVs, Homepods and other Airplay 2 speakers are added to your Home app and can then be used to play music in a specific room via Siri commands. It has nothing to do with Hue Sync unfortunately.
