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?
Ok, thanks for the feedback, good to know that it actually should work. Might be something network related… I’d go and mess a bit more with it I guess :p
That’s a good idea. Perhaps something is wonky on the network side.
For what it’s worth, I guess, I have an AppleTV and two HomePod minis in different rooms and they all talk to each other. I don’t even know which one of them is acting as the main hub (I think it’s the AppleTV).
