Best hub for HomeKit
If you want to stay in touch with your smart devices when you leave home, you need to add an Apple TV (or an iPad or HomePod) to your home network. Once connected to your HomeKit system, it acts as an Internet gateway, allowing you to monitor or control devices remotely, using apps on your iPhone or Apple Watch, as well as voice commands through Siri.
Alternatively
Apple HomePod
Apple’s first HomeKit-enabled speaker also serves as a hub and can put excellent sound in any corner of the house.
The Apple HomePod is the only voice-controlled speaker that also acts as a HomeKit hub—and you’re going to need one of those if you plan to use HomeKit outside of the house to do things like turn on lights, adjust temperatures, lock doors, or get alerts based on smart-home activities. An iPad or Apple TV also acts as a HomeKit hub, but it’s much easier and more realistic to have multiple HomePods around the house, since they also play music. It can also deliver weather forecasts, trivia questions, and calendar appointments on demand, as well as make and take phone calls.
