roku tv will not add to homekit

It will find the accessory (TV) and recognize the QR but after minutes of attempting to connect My message reads “unable to add accessory”

I tried the reset and it still is giving me this error

I had this problem as well with my Sharp Roku TV and found the solution was to restart the TV (which is not the same as just turning it off and on). Go to Settings >> System >> Power >> System restart. Once my TV restarted I went back to Airplay and it added right away. Hope this helps.

I kept getting the same error until I moved both my TV and Phone from my "Guest" network to my home network. My router supports both and we always use the guest network for streaming (which as I found out does not allow sharing between devices).

I am having this same issue!!! So frustrating!

I also have the same problem; notably, I was able to get my philips hue lightbulbs to work on my HomeKit app just about a week ago, so it seems to be a problem specifically between my Roku TV and my HomeKit. My error message is "Unable to Add Accessory", "Accessory is not reachable."

I have the Roku TV version 7827X, running on software version 9.4.0, which is stated to work with HomeKit.

Just replying to say that I tried to pair my Roku tv to my HomeKit on my iPhone for literally months before I saw the comment about just restarting my tv. I restarted it a few minutes ago and it instantly paired to my phone

Thanks so much for these steps. It worked perfectly after I tried this.

Just want to be another voice. The restart worked for me also.

This worked for us as well - though the only function available is On/Off. Can't call up a station, choose a program, or other. Fairly Spartan. But it now works!

Shout Out to this solution, it just worked like Magic!!

same here, its frustrating because i am ready to use it. not sure what the hold up is

Did rebooting as mentioned above not fix it? Try unplugging/replugging your tv for a hard restart if you can’t reboot it and then see if you can add Airplay.

Worked instantly, thanks.

It worked like a charm -- thank you as I never would have thought of that kind of system reset!
