Issues with multiple Homekit hubs

I don’t think there is a way around this but, is there anyway way to only have one HomePod mini as my homekit hub and turn every other hub off ?


I have 3 Homepod minis

2 full size homepids

2 Apple TV 4k


the first issue I had was trying to use an eve door sensor, while my Apple TV was the connected hub, my eve door sensor would not change status at all when opening or closing my door. As soon as I disabled the Apple TV as a hub, my “connected” hub switched from the Apple TV to one of the HomePod mini’s and my eve door sensor worked immediately and worked really well.


however, I have noticed that each time my hub changes to a different hub device, all of my automate blinds lose connection and “not responding” - the only way to get them back online in homekit is to open the automate app and execute a movement, then my automate blinds all come back online in homekit , but, then when my hub changes again to a direct HomePod and I lose them again.


j just want to turn them all off from being a hub except for one, and have it as the dedicated hub - but there is no way to do it.. or is there? Both Apple TVs are now off but I can’t do that with HomePods.

Turns out having multiple HomePods has made things work worse, not better.


Any help would be great.

cheers
