2 Homes, 2 Base Stations + 2 HomeKit Homes

QuintusPre — Sat, 12 Feb 2022 14:15:30 GMT

For the last 18 months, I have had 2 Arlo base stations at two different homes (residence + cottage) connected to 2 HomeKit homes (residence + cottage) and it all worked seamlessly together!

In the past week, there appears to have been an update to the Arlo app which reset my HomeKit setups. No problem, I set up my main home and then figured that when I got to the cottage, I would set up the cottage. As soon as I set up the cottage base station to my HomeKit, however, the main residence immediately disconnected from HomeKit.

What is going on? Is this a glitch? Are we no longer able to setup two base stations each to a separate HomeKit home? Please tell me this is a glitch in the new update and that this will be resolved soon! I need both my HomeKit homes to be connected to Arlo!

I am going to try again tonight to set up my home Arlo to HomeKit and hope that I do not lose my cottage Arlo‘s connection to HomeKit. I do, however, need a reset token for my home Arlo (VMB4000) and I could then report back.

Thanks!

Worked! All good now. Thanks for resetting the HomeKit tokens. I guess the new update needed a full reset to get both homes up and running in HomeKit again.
