Add Base Stations To Homekit

How do I add the basestations to Apple HomeKit? I want to be able to arm and disarm in the Apple HomeKit App.

I was able to add the cameras but I have been unable to add the basestations.

Thanks!

The base stations are in HomeKit. But there is no option inside of Apple Home to arm/disarm base stations. This is seriously a big feature Arlo is missing. So how would I be able to re-add the base stations with giving me the option to arm/disarm in apple home.

You can't.
