I have an Apple TV and a HomePod Mini.
My Apple TV is my main hub. However, if I use Siri via my HomePod, I can’t use any scenes that are in my HomeKit. This kinda sucks because the usecase that I bought the HomePod for, is to activate scenes.
I know that you can’t “guide” Apple HomeKit to decide what device is your active hub, and what is your standby hub. However, by magic this is correct (Apple TV is active, Homepod is stand-by) According to this article, it should not matter, but it does in my case… https://www.homekithelper.net/devices/hubs
Anyone that can help me?
It shouldn’t matter what the hub is. Any device should be able to trigger scenes.
Sorry, I have no help for you, but having multiple hubs is not the solution you are looking for. Maybe repairing the HomePod would fix it, idk.
Do you have more than one Home setup? (Home Settings / < Homes) Maybe the HomePod is in the wrong one?
I’ve had similar issues in the past.
You can restart the HomePods and your AppleTV should become the hub.
It should stay the hub until you restart or have a power outage.
IMO the hub should prioritize anything with a wired internet connection Apple TVs then HomePods last.
