Why no 17.5.1 for HomePod OS? Now TVs will always be Bridges!?!

Because TV OS has a 17.5.1 and Hompods only have 17.5. The TVs will always be the home bridge because they have the most current OS. Before you could reboot the TV and the HomePod would take Bridge if that is what you wanted. But as soon as the TV comes back on-line it will always be the bridge because it has the latest OS now.


C'Mon Apple allow us to set what device priorities for bridges. Even if it is advanced feature only a few use please give us the option.
