Need some help please... I am trying to connect my Arlo base station to Apple Homekit.

Model is VMB4000r3 with firmware 1.16.6.2_3890...

I have followed the instruction of other poss, restarted the base station and updated the iOS app but doesnt get past "Discovering your device" message.

Others have been solved with a token reset... could I please request?

Thanks

Hi Silentbob101 and jarrodj,

I've sent a token reset request to your base station that should resolve the issue. Please reboot your base station (remove and reapply power) allow the base station to come back online. Then make sure that you have the latest version of the Arlo iOS app and try setting up HomeKit again using these instructions: How do I connect my Arlo camera to Apple HomeKit?

Yea... this didn't work for me either... Factory reset the bridge and still nothing.

Hope this is resolved with an update in the future.

I am having the same problem. I had the cameras added to HomeKit once, but they went unresponsive one day and never came back. I removed them from HomeKit and now when trying to add them again I am stuck at this discovery message.

I have reset your HomeKit token, please reboot your base station and try again.
