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?

    Yeah, first going to see if my network config is good before going to the extremes of deleting the home. We have multiple scenes (+10). Recreating them is possible, but not preferred.

      Makes sense. I just spent 5 days reconstructing my network due to a variety of inefficiencies. Happy to say it worked out on the end, but it was hell during.

      Good luck!
