Home app is not appearing on tvOS

My Apple TV 4K from 2021 doesn't have the Home app. I remember the Home app being there when I first got it, (I could view the doorbell camera from it) but it's not there anymore. I am on the latest software version to this day. (tvOs 17.6.1) Did Apple purposefully remove this, or is this a bug?

Home icon missing from Control Center on Apple TV (tvOS 26) Hey folks, Wondering if anyone else ran into this — my Home / HomeKit icon is missing from the Control Center on my Apple TV (tvOS 26). Here’s what I’ve already tried: iPhone and Apple TV (A2843) are on the same Apple ID Apple TV is set up as my Home Hub (Thread network) I’ve got a few lights and a motion sensor in Home App I’ve also created a few scenes for lights Everything works fine from the Home app on my iPhone, all automations and accessories respond perfectly, but the Home icon just never shows up in Control Center on the TV. Some extra context: I don’t have any cameras in my setup Both iPhone and Apple TV are fully updated Has anyone else seen this on tvOS 26? Could Apple have changed something so the Home icon only appears if you have cameras or certain types of devices?

Control HomeKit accessories from the Apple TV Another user asked why the HomeKit icon is not appearing in their Apple TV Control Center. This support document indicates it should be there and able to control Scenes and devices. Use tvOS Control Center on Apple TV - Apple Support I don’t have the HomeKit icon on my Apple TV’s Control Center either. I’m running tvOS 16.6 on a 4K gen 4 Apple TV box. So is this a bug or a configuration issue?

The Home functionality is actually in the Control Center: Control Center at a glance - Apple Support.
