Adding a Samsung 4K TV with Airplay 2 to Apple Home

Airplay 2 on my new Samsung 4K TV works fine, but I am unable to add the TV to my Apple Home accessories. Is this possible? I would like to control the TV from my HomePod.

Samsung TV's didn't gain support for home kit, only airplay 2 and the TV app.

I wish I had known; I thought Apple airplay would by default be compatible with Apple Home. I guess that means that if you use Apple Home to automate or voice control devices you should not buy a Samsung TV.
