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?

(I’m going to using the Schlage Encode Plus)

@tvaziri it's network based, the smart device is not connecting directly to the AppleTV so proximity between the two devices isn't a factor (proximity between the smart device and an access point would be though).
