Question marked as
Have you tried asking Siri to turn on/play on a device for a named room?
- Room names and the devices assigned to each of the rooms, can be defined through HomeKit (e.g. Home app on iPhone). (Assuming no more than one Apple TV box per room.) Once the Apple TV box is part of HomeKit, then some configuration can alternatively be done on the Apple TV box as well.
- Have you tried naming the devices uniquely and asking Siri to turn on/play on one of these devices by name?
