Home icon not showing up in appletv control center

Appletv control center was working flawlessly but all of a sudden for some reason the home icon doesn’t show up in my appletv control center when I press the power button any more. This just started happening recently and I still can’t get the icon to show up now. Any help on how this can be fixed would be greatly appreciated.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 26

The Apple Home tab wouldn’t appear if you haven’t set up Apple Home- or Matter-compatible security cameras or haven’t created a scene in the Home app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac where you’re signed in with the same Apple Account.

You would invoke Control Center using click-and-hold of the TV button, not the power button.
