I have multiple smart plugs that I would like to control while away from home. I can control these plugs from my iPhone through the HomeKit app but as soon as I connect my Apple TV as a home hub all plugs show No Response. When this happens I am unable to control them from my iPhone and automation doesn’t work. As soon as I disable Apple TV as a home hub all outlets can be controlled from my IPhone again.
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15
The Apple TV should be registered with the same Apple ID account for iCloud services.

Confirm in the Home app on your iPhone, that the Apple TV box is part of the Home (and has been assigned a named room).
Thank you for your response. These settings have all been confirmed. The Apple TV and all smart plugs show in the home app in the correlating rooms. All smart plugs show no response. As soon as I go into the settings on the Apple TV using the remote and select home hub disabled then all smart plugs work and can be controlled in the home app.
Unless someone else chimes in with a good idea, 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).
