With 14.2, I cannot change the Apple TV’s name and cannot associate it with a room. Has anyone else seen this problem? And, is there a resolution?

Hello,

Your reply would not resolve the problem. After the upgrade, I assumed that the Apple TV reboot was the same as a restart. In this case, it was not. I had to perform a restart of the Apple TV, and then I was able to see the HomeKit room prompt and change the HomeKit room.

When in doubt, one should restart the device. :-)

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, BubbaK61.

If we understand your post correctly, you want to name your Apple TV. We’d like to help.


Follow the steps in the "Organize accessories by room and zone" section of this article:


Add a HomeKit accessory to the Home app


Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
