Apple TVYou can only use the Apple TV as a HomeKit hub, you can't control accessories through it.
Try the following steps for the Apple TV 2 & 3, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
- Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
- Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
- Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
- Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
- Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)
