I am attempting to connect my home kit app on my phone to the Apple TV. The app says that you can make a 4th generation or later the hun of a home kit however mine is showing me the following message “airplay 2 and HomeKit require an iCloud account”
yes I have signed into my one and only Apple ID on the home kit and the Apple TV. I have an Apple TV 4K
…this is driving me crazy.
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15
See this support document for tips and suggestions: Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub - Apple Support
If the issue persists after reviewing the above, then I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/email/callback).
Apple TV has a separate listing for the account for the Stores and for iCloud services. They can be the same, but both have to be filled in.
Yes I have them both filled in
