If I want to use an Apple TV as a HomeKit Hub to help control wireless devices (like smart locks), does the Apple TV need to be physically close to those wireless devices or does it use your existing Wi-Fi network to connect?
if the device uses Wi-Fi, and as long as the Apple TV as a HomeKit Hub is on the same Wi-Fi, you're good. Proximity between the device and the Hub is not an issue.
@tvaziri My BIG problem w/HomeKit? IF you have a HomePod of ANY kind on your network, it will constantly take-over as Homekit hub - and there's NO WAY tell it not to. It's ALSO way slower than my ATVs...which bothers me w/HomeKit!
