Force Apple TV 4K to be homekit hub?

Any way to prevent a wi-if HomePod mini from getting priority as the homekit hub over my wired Apple TV 4K? Things just run better when my Apple TV is doing the automation processing.

HomeKit Hub roaming I have a setup with multiple Apple TVs and HomePod minis (7 Apple TVs and 8 HomePod minis). One of these devices becomes the connected HomeKit hub randomly, the rest are in standby and the problem is that some of the HomeKit devices are using Bluetooth LTE and for some Apple TVs are too far away. So each time the device (be it an Apple TV or HomePod mini) that is the connected HomeKit hub is too far away those HomeKit devices do not work anymore. While I can disconnect the Apple TV from their menu to stop them to become connected there is no way I can do this for the HomePod minis. I need to inhibit the HomePod minis to become connected HomeKit hubs in order to get a stable HomeKit system. Any ideas?

Apple TV migrating to HomeKit Mini I had HomeKit turned on for my Apple TV and it's been working great. However, I bought a HomePod Mini to dedicate as a hub. Everything appears to be working at the moment after I installed the HomePod Mini. Upside or downside on leaving them both up and running without making any changes to the Apple TV? Do I need to turn OFF the HomeKit Hub w/in the Apple TV now that I've installed the HomePod Mini? Can I keep them both on as HomeKit hubs? Thanks in advance.
