In iOS 18 and tvOS 18, Apple TV and HomePod owners will have the option to choose a "Preferred Home Hub" for controlling HomeKit and Matter accessories remotely. This new feature will allow users to select a specific Apple TV or HomePod as the main hub, ensuring better connectivity and stability for managing other home devices. With the ability to prioritize a certain device over others, users can optimize their smart home setup and avoid potential issues with slower connections. However, in order to access this feature, all devices must be running the beta versions of their respective operating systems. While some users have reported not seeing the new menu in the Home app, it is expected to be resolved in future updates. The public beta for iOS 18 and tvOS 18 will be available next month, with the official launch scheduled for this fall.
