Do you have the Apple TV box? If so, what models? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support


The Home app is available on iPhone, iPad, and with some limitations also on Mac.

Select TV-specific controls are available on Apple TV from Control Center. Find the Home icon there.

Use tvOS Control Center on Apple TV - Apple Support

Control HomeKit scenes and cameras - Apple Support


If you envision more HomeKit functionality on the Apple TV box, then you may make suggestions as feedback comments to Apple directly: Feedback - Apple TV - Apple.

Thanks for the additional details. Those qualify. Both devices have about the same functionality for HomeKit. Either one can be a home hub (and the other a standby-hub). HomeKit is tied to one Apple ID account. Devices registered with a different account wouldn’t be part of the HomeKit setup.
