Setup Failed (-6712) when atempting to set up AppleTV as HomeKit 'hub'.

I recently moved, and am trying to set my new home up in Home.


I deleted my old home, and am trying to add my AppleTV to my Home, so it can be the hub.


I used my iPhone to delete my old Home, then added my new one. After logging out the AppleTV out of iCloud, then back in, when prompted, I moved my iPhone close to the AppleTV, at which time, the iPhone tells me "Setup Failed (-6712)"


There is very little information about that error online, that I could find. Any help would be appreciated!

Apple TV HD, tvOS 15
