That is currently not supported. Apple TV is not a programmable HomeKit accessory for such tasks at this time.

Best you can do is set it to play (unspecified) music, like a genre station matching your usual music content, if you subscribe to Apple Music.

If you have feedback for Apple for future features, then please use the feedback form: Feedback - Apple TV - Apple.
