Apple TV - Siri - HomeKit

When I try to access accessories HomeKit with Siri on my Apple TV, she says that she "cannot do it here" - am I missing something?

It seems that the ATV is only to act as a server for your iOS devices Homekit control device when away from home.  Using the Siri remote does not control the devices.

  • Apple tv4 Siri and remote control app

    3 members of my family are back because it doesn't work with the remote app Apple tv4.  Apple promotes Siri, which is good, but it does not work with people with emphasis.  Someone has an idea how to best use apple tv4?  Thank you.

    Get rid of the accent.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist.

    Siri on ATV4 is pretty basic in its functionality and reliability in terms of understanding people. Apple is working on it to bring it to other countries and more people. Siri on ATV4 is an all new Siri. It does not use the same databases as the 'old' Siri, we all know from our iDevices. It will take Apple some time to update ATV4-Siri. Now we have only two choices: return the ATV4 if you are not happy with its current features, or wait for the updates of tvOS.

  • Two Apple TV with HomeKit

    I was interested by the HomeKit implementation for home automation other products continue to be released. I currently have 2 Gen3 AppleTV. My question is, having two apple TV to expand bluetooth for some devices? My apple TV are on opposite sides of the House and I read people complain on problems of the range. Having both would be able to push the bluetooth off the coast of one or the other?

    Some HomeKit devices are wifi, while others are Bluetooth control.  Only those that are Bluetooth control must be close to the hub of the ATV and then it comes down to the limitation of Bluetooth technology on how far the ATV devices must reside.  In general, it comes to 32feet.  I have several ATVS in my residence for control homekit - they need to be within 32 feet of the ATC, the locks are Bluetooth.  However, I have lights, garage, cameras etc. which are ordered wifi as well as the location in relation to the ATV is of no consequence...

  • Apple TV-Siri shows Hulu in the results, but I have not installed the Hulu application

    My research findings using Siri on the new Apple TV keep showing Hulu as an option. The only thing is, I have not installed the Hulu application, and I'm not a subscriber of Hulu. Is this a mistake or what is 'normal '.

    To check, I select Hulu in the search results, and was invited to install the application.

    It is correct. The page that displays the result of your search will connect you to the app from Hulu on the App Store if you have not installed it.

    The research aims to get you a way to watch the TV Show/movie you want to watch. It's a great way to see if a Hulu subscription is something you want to pay.

  • Apple TV Remote broke right out of the box

    So I get all excited on my new apple TV.  While I'm implementing on the ground plug control box I put the remote on a chair next to me and hit the Chair and the remote hit the ground.  It had never been used and is now cracked.  How can we if fragile a remote control and how can a remote be half the cost of all the Apple TV system.  Just doesn't seem fair.  Guess I'm $ 70 for a new remote.  Is there another remote solution out there?  Is there a way to protect the remote control?  Could you please add a warning on the package so that people are aware of the fragility of this unit is?

    I see now after researching the topic that I'm not the first to this experience.  Please let me know if Apple will provide some form of compensation for this kind of accident.

    Thank you.

    We are users like you here, for the most part, not Apple.

    You've been unlucky I'm afraid and there is really no different from a new iPhone drops and it cracking if you think about it - at least in this sense is not Apple fault so naturally, you don't want to drop a phone new or old for that same reason.

    I would be surprised if Apple would compensate you for being clumsy - I do mean that badly - I dropped my remote Siri repeatedly and were probably lucky that it won't break.

    Are you sure that the remote control has not been damaged before he fell?

    You can use an old silver AppleTV remote but it would not have the touch surface.

    Yes, there are protectors, do a Google search and you'll find things like:

  • Can I use 4 apple tv remote to operate the devices homekit with siri?

    I just bought a 4th gen Apple TV and I'm experimenting with everything that can make the Siri to button on the remote control.  I tried to use it to turn my lights on and outside, and I received the message "Sorry, I can't help with HomeKit here."  Am I reason to assume this isn't allowed / supported?  Curious to know why, as the Apple TV also serves as the gateway so that I can control my HomeKt remote devices from my phone (which is currently working).

    Thank you!

    -Jeff

    That is right. Although the ATV4 HomeKit capable Siri on tvOS is not yet supported. My hypothesis is that Siri visibility will increase.  Just as the music was not included until 9.1. I expect more integration through software updates.  That said, being a user forum, and not something I've seen confirmed by Apple...

  • How to configure automation with Apple TV, Homekit and Hue

    I have what I believe should be a viable home automation installation: a new brand (4th generation, Sept. 16) Apple TV, a hub of hue with the support of Homekit and seven lights attached via the hub.  The lights appear in the home iPad app and can be enabled or disabled here.  I can also do things with Siri on the Apple TV as "turn one room family", and have the appropriate lights.  Thus, it seems that everything works.

    BUT: when I go to the tab "Automation" in the app iPad Home, all I get is a page telling me that I should get an Apple TV to put in place of the automated activities - there is no way to actually DO something.  Am I missing something obvious?  I do this also?  Don't forget that I can control the lights in the House on the iPad, so they certainly know each other...  Thank you!

    Looks like you are unable to configure Automation with your Apple TV. I would check that you have everything set up correctly with the steps described in this article:
