Apple TV 4K Siri failure.

Apple TV no longer will turn on when I say "Siri turn on Dining Room Apple TV". Instead it say something about no temperature sensor. It used to work, but now my Apple TV is a “Home Theater”. No combination of words seems to encourage any action whatsoever. Not a show-stopper, but after all of the fuss about how Siri finally working, it is yet again a huge disappointment. Apple Intelligence? I have 3 Apple TV 4Ks.

Check the Apple TV’s room assignment in Settings > AirPlay and HomeKit > Room. Set it to Dining Room, then try “Turn on the Apple TV in the Dining Room.” Also make sure the Apple TV is listed in that same room in the Home app.
