Even though I have software updates set to automatic update, it doesn’t seem to do it without manual intervention. How is one supposed to use AppleTv as a remote home hub if you can’t keep it updated while away from home?
Apple TV (2nd gen)
I don’t think Apple TV will update in sleep mode. It has to be on and active to do the procedure.
Automatic updates may trail a few days after release date, presumably to help spread the server load.
Similar to macOS and iOS, Apple TV will not jump to a next major version automatically (like 15.x → 16.x).
What home hub functionality needs the latest update when nobody’s there?

It would be nice if …

Thank you. I am away from home so I won’t be able to verify if sleep mode was the issue but I bet you are right. It would be nice if the home app allowed us to remotely take it out of sleep mode.
Why doesn’t my Apple TV update automatically?
