To use Apple Home, your Arlo device must be connected to an Arlo SmartHub or Arlo Base Station. You can’t use Apple Home with your Arlo device if the device is connected directly to a Wi-Fi router.

Actually the Arlo Baby is an exception to that general rule.

See https://kb.arlo.com/000062279/How-do-I-connect-my-Arlo-device-to-Apple-Home

You can also connect an Arlo Baby camera with the Apple Home App. For more information, visit: How do I set up a new Arlo Baby camera with Apple Home?

But there is no token to reset - the Arlo Baby uses the QR code setup method.
