Can I use my Mac as my home hub?

Can I use my Mac as my home hub for home kit much like you would with an ipad or apple tv without having a Home Pod?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

I now have Mojave running on a Mac. Although it has a Home app that allows me to control devices from the Mac the Home User Guide states "You can't set up remote access from the Home app on your Mac". The article effectively says you must have an Apple TV, Homepod or iPad to create a Home Hub.

A pity that the iPad is more powerful than a Mac!
