New cameras not showing in homekit

Hi,

I recently added a few outdoor 2nd gen essential camera's to my base station but these are not showing up in homekit. How can I force homekit / Arlo to refresh the list of devices?

Arlo hasn't rolled out homekit support yet.

Oh! Since they recently added support for home base I thought homekit support was a given.

Bummer.

Thanks for replying though!
