Hello,
is any possibility how to disable HomePod as an home center In HomeKit? I have Apple TV as an main home center in another room and it works I can see devices in another rooms. But if HomeKit and I do not why switch HomePod as an main home center I do not see this devices in another rooms, they are not responding.
Thank you very much

HomePod, iOS 12.1
Sure, but possibly to change it is lets say reasonable. BTW homekit switch from one homepod to another homepod then to Apple TV. There is no logic about. All devices are online, all are powered up. Just option in homekit to mark your primary device is enough.
There is a lot of uncertainty about Homekit hubs. It seems that it is effectively a local "cloud" function and no one device is in charge. So I agree that there is not clear logic to it.
I have suggested to Apple via Feedback that they create a Homekit community. It may help if you also suggest this to them.
I don't have any HomeKit gear but from what I gather it isn't possible to change this at present. Use Feedback - HomePod - Apple to ask for more control over which device becomes the Home Hub.

Thanks a lot. I did it. This is strange, because Apple TV I can disable for homekit on Apple TV.
HomePod is designed to be left on all of the time, which probably leads Apple to think it should be the default Home Hub if present.

Let us hope your feedback gets somewhere. 🙂
