Apple TV 4K 1st Gen Unable to Finish HomeKit Setup Both my iPhone 12 and Apple TV 4K are signed into the same iCloud account and on the same wifi. I’m trying to finish Home Setup but when I click the “Finish Home Set Up” button, it just idles. My iPhone Bluetooth is on and discoverable, but the Apple TV doesn’t show up. I’ve updated the software on both devices, reset both devices, signet out and back into iCloud on both devices, and still nothing. I don’t have the setup code or the sticker. I’m at a loss at how else to do.
