Cannot add Aqara G100 camera to Apple TV Home settings

Hi. I have purchased Aqara G100 security camera, which supports apple home. The problem is that, I can’t add it to Apple Tv 4k. It’s already been added to my iPhone’s Home app. I watched numerous videos on YouTube, but nothing useful. They all claim (including chatgpt) that there is Apple Home thing in Apple Tv’s settings. But it disappeared. My all apple devices and Aqara camera is in their latest version, updated. May be it existed some time ago or in older IOS versions. Can anyone help me? Is there a solution to this? How can I add it to Apple Tv? Step by step guide. Thanks in advance, everyone.

Accessories cannot be added manually to HomeKit on Apple TV. Instead, a HomeKit/Matter accessory has to be added to the Home app on iPhone (or iPad) with the same Apple Account. Then it is completed for the Home and local network.


Accessories that are made to also interface with Apple TV (not all do), should be accessible from Apple TV Control Center. You should then see the Home icon in the top right corner, among the other Control Center icons.

I have purchased Aqara G100 security camera, which supports apple home".


Now, am no expert in this area, yet your post to the community deserves some response.

Fortunately, Apple provides a lot of articles with step-by-step "how-to" information.


When I checked Apple's article online: Home app - Accessories - Apple

I didn't find the Aqara G100 Security camera.listed with other Aqara Cameras.

Wondering if you have actually installed the most recent tvOS update for your Apple Tv 4k:
