Apple TV 4K 1st Gen Unable to Finish HomeKit Setup

Apple TV is strictly not a HomeKit accessory like other accessories. It doesn’t have to be added like third party devices; it should be known to Home app through iCloud already. There is very limited automation available for Apple TV (e.g. playing audio from Apple Music if condition are met). Nothing like video content selection.

On Apple TV, in Settings﹥AirPlay and HomeKit﹥Room﹥, select the appropriate/matching room.

Then it should be be listed in the Home app as well, for that room.

I’m trying to use my iPhone 12 to control it.

You can control your Apple TV with your iPhone, without the need for HomeKit and the Home app. Just use the software remote in Control Center. Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Unless someone else chimes in with a good idea, I would suggest to contact an expert from the the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).

when I click the “Finish Home Set Up” button, it just idles.

Did you give the home a custom name?

Did you assign named rooms to the home?

Do you have a home hub device defined?

Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub - Apple Support

I don’t have the setup code or the sticker.

That is not needed for Apple’s own devices, as they should already link through iCloud. That is more for third party HomeKit accessories.

on the same wifi

Are both using the same SSID? Some home networks are unfortunately configured with separate SSID network names for the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band. Then that would essentially create two separate networks. I would advise against that: Instead use the same SSID name for both bands, bridging them into one logical network, and let devices decide how they connect best.

I'm having the same problem. If I sit here long enough eventually I can get it added to the Home app but the Apple TV 4k still shows no room and Siri (on my phone) just says it can't find any TV's by that name.

I’m having the exact same issue, we’re you able to resolve it?

thx
