Home Hub suddenly isn't working.

Home Hub worked great for 3 days. Then, Home suddenly isn't working so none of my smart devices are working - so frustrating. "No Response" on Smart Plugs. AppleTV Stopped. There is no way to get the Home Hub back online. Software is up to date. Many restarts. I'm pretty good at computers but this has me stumped. Any good tips?

Apple TV not acting as a Home Hub Home Hub Settings shows that Apple TV 4K needs updating to allow its continued use as a Home Hub. The current state is that some accessories work and others show "No Response". This has been a working Home Hub for the last 3 years without issue. The Settings in Apple TV shows that the OS is 15.3 and is the latest. Do I reset the ATV or change something in Home Hub Settings?

Homekit accessories constantly going offline? I have had these homekit accessories for about a year with little to no issues, stable, occasional drops but nothing that couldn’t be explained away. Recently, my entire home, each non-apple accessory cannot and will not stay “online”. Nothing has changed in the network, all devices have power and are connected to the wireless network and are fully reachable through a ping. Accessories that have a companion app, such as myQ, work perfectly fine in their app, but homekit refuses to believe the accessory is connected. I have recycled power, to each accessory and the primary (Apple TV 4K), and secondary hub (Apple TV 4K). Firmware is up to date from what I can tell. HSV devices I am completely clueless about because there’s no companion app, so troubleshooting is nearly impossible. I assume my only option is to completely reset every accessory in my house? I’m not sure what’s going on, I really feel like i’ve tried everything. And apparently there is no actual support forum for Homekit? so i’m posting this in the wrong place… Is homekit end of life? i feel like there is no support forums and how little development is being put into homekit it seems very end of life, should i be looking for a new home solution? probably.

HomeKit My connected hub is an Apple TV. In one of my scenes I get the response “the media is not available”. What does that mean when I see no media selected?

I've recently ran into this exact issue and I'm still trying to figure out what happened. I haven't changed any configurations or settings it just stopped working.

It's a 3rd Generation AppleTV not a 4th Generation AppleTV. I've recently read that (might be) the problem. I don't know if that's accurate.
