How to make Apple TV Home Hub..

I have followed every single instruction out there on this and my Apple TV (4) is not setting up as my Home Hub.

On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Accounts > iCloud and make sure that your Apple TV shows HomeKit as Connected. If you don’t see HomeKit, then your Apple TV isn't connected as a home hub.

I do not see HomeKit here, thus my Apple TV isn't connected as a home hub... How do I make it a home hub...

From Automate and remotely access your HomeKit accessories - Apple Support:

Set up Apple TV as a home hub

On your iOS device or Mac, set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID. Then go to iCloud and make sure that you have iCloud Keychain turned on.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Accounts and make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID as your iOS device.
After you sign in to iCloud, your Apple TV automatically sets itself up as a home hub. To check the status of your home hub, go to Settings > Accounts > iCloud and look under HomeKit to see if your home hub is connected. Learn what to do if you don’t see HomeKit.

Is your account set up with two-factor authentication and iCloud Keychain?
