Setting a default HomeKit hub
Our home has multiple HomePods and AppleTVs and I want to make the AppleTV 4k (4th Gen) the preferred hub. Any ideas about how to go about doing that?

Thanks for reaching out paulfromcanton,
It sounds like you want to know if there is a way to designate a default home hub. We can help.
A resource that may help you out is Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub. While there isn't a way to manually assign a preferred hub consider that:
Set up Apple TV as a home hub
Apple TV* automatically becomes a home hub when you add it to HomeKit.
1. Open Settings on Apple TV.
2. Select Users and Accounts. Make sure your name is selected under Default User and that you're signed in to iCloud with the Apple ID that you used to set up your HomeKit and Matter accessories in the Home app.
3. Go back to Apple TV Settings, then select AirPlay and HomeKit.
4. Scroll down and select Room, then choose a room or add a new room.
Hope that helps.
Take care.
