ATV tvOS 9.2 beta and HomeKit issue

[myname70]

the latest 9.2 beta has a problem with the HomeKit service. Simply the HomeKit devices do not connect to the ATV4 and no way to control them outside the range. I have two ATV4 - the one that I updated to 9.2 stop supporting HomeKit. While the second I kept with the official release - no issues. HomeKit works.

There's nothing at all in the release notes about HomeKit, there is a section about bugs:

Bug Reporting
For issues not mentioned in the Notes and Known Issues section, please file bugs through the
Apple Developer website https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/. Additionally, you may
discuss these issues and tvOS SDK 9.2 in the Apple Developer Forums at https://forums.developer.apple.com/community/pre-release/tvos-beta.

I have reported it already.

I have reported it already.

Great -- Unless it's specific to the way you've set things up, I'm sure they're already aware of it. It'd never be the case that a final tvOS release wouldn't support HomeKit. Just the nature of beta software.
