Not Able to setup apple tv 4th gen as home hub

Updated to iOS 10 yesterday. I was looking to setup up the ATV 4th Gen as a home hub, but it is not allowing me. It works fine to set up the ipad pro as the hub but not the ATV, which is running TVos 10, and yes 2 step verification is on. Is anyone else having this problem? Is Apple aware?

Apple TV, iOS 10, null

I think my problem is that the Apple TV uses a different apple id to the one I used for the initial setup.


On my ipad that I used to set up the home I can see a home option under settings, but not on the devices that were invited to join the home.


Tonight I will redo the setup using the apple id and see if the home option becomes available on those devices and thus the apple tv. As under that option there is a button that should be flicked to use the device as the Home hub.
