Apple TV 4K 2022 not showing in Homekit

My Apple TV 4K is controlling my smart TV but does not show up in Homekit nor function as a hub for smart devices. Neither does the Homekit icon appear in the control panel on the TV. It appears that a large number of other users are experiencing the same issues with no fix or work around coming from Apple. Does anyone have any answers?

Control HomeKit accessories from the Apple TV Another user asked why the HomeKit icon is not appearing in their Apple TV Control Center. This support document indicates it should be there and able to control Scenes and devices. Use tvOS Control Center on Apple TV - Apple Support I don’t have the HomeKit icon on my Apple TV’s Control Center either. I’m running tvOS 16.6 on a 4K gen 4 Apple TV box. So is this a bug or a configuration issue?

HomeKit not working once I add my Apple TV I recently purchased an AppleTV 4k (Model A2169) to act as a home hub since the iPad I own would no longer be supported as a hub after ios16. However, the moment I add the Apple TV to my home, all of my lights in homekit become unresponsive. I literally just finished setting up my home again, resetting the hue hub and everything inside HomeKit worked perfectly until the moment I added the Apple TV. I have tried all the tips I could find to fix this and I cannot figure out what the issue is. Here's a summary of what I tried: -Deleted home and set up new home -Reset the Apple TV completely and update it -Reset the Hue Hub -Unlinked the hue hub and linked it again to the homekit app (after this I ended up with the lights showing up twice in homekit) -Signed in and out on Apple TV and added to the home again (made lights unresponsive) If someone has any suggestions I would be more than happy and grateful to hear them. I am at my wit's end at this point and considering returning this stupid device since it's not doing the one thing I need it to do.

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?
