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 as others have said it uses WiFi, I have a hub system (D-Link) and it helps greatly to have one of those close by. You may also have to use a 2.4 network, need to check the lock
