Apple TV won't show up as home hub in iPhone iOS 10 home app

I Have the same issue. Ran the same traps as you. 2 factor auth enabled. Sign in and out of icloud. No luck. Can enable ipad as home hub but apple tv 4th gen simply wont act as the hub. Under settings, accounts, icloud... no homekit option available.

Same issue here. I've logged in and out of iCloud, turned Keychain on and off, and waited 24 hours. My iPad works fine as a hub, but the option never shows up on Apple TV.

I had the same problem until I removed my Apple TV from my devices on my Icloud account. After I re-signed in the problem resolved itself. Hope this helps...

Hi, Found the trick after trying a lot of things in all sorts of order.

What works is:

1) Sign out of iCloud on your ATV4

2) Restart your ATV4

3) Reset Homekit under Settings/Privacy

4) Restart your ATV4

5) Login to iCloud

Of course 2 factor verification should be on.

The ATV stays connected in Standby mode and works with Ethernet and Wifi.

Good luck!

iCloud Keychain must be turned on also on your iPhone running iOS 10

I had an ATV 3 and added the ATV 4 when it came out. After iOS 10 and HomeKit I could not get me HomeKit config to release from the ATV 3 and give control to the ATV 4 even when I removed the ATV 3 from the network. I followed you 5 steps with only the ATV 4 connected and now it works. Thanks for this tip. It worked for me. As an aside, after reconnecting my ATV 3 to the network it does show in the HomeKit details, but says 'disabled'. Siri now can control my scenes from the ATV 4.

My one gripe is I can't connect my ATV 4 to my iMac when on ethernet connection. Works fine with Wifi. I have no idea what that's about, but I'll take HomeKit working!!! Again, THANK YOU!

I had the same issue.

Tried a lot of things for hours.

It worked right after i disabled and re-enabled my home sharing settings.

Maybe give that i try.
