Arlo Video Doorbell and HomeKit integration

marko988 — Sat, 22 Jan 2022 11:19:12 GMT

Hi, I found this thread from 1 year ago https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Video-Doorbell/Arlo-Video-Doorbell-and-HomeKit-integration/m-p/1807850 where I found out that the wired doorbell was updated and become compatible with homekit.

I was wondering if there's a timeline for the wire-free model AVD2001. Are you planning to release a firmware that'll add homekit integration?

Arlo can't provide homekit support until Apple completes their certification.

A lot of folks here were very upset about not being to pair their AVD2001 with a base station. If I were in Arlo's position, I'd have made the same decision they did.

marko988,

I do not have a timeline available for when this integration will take place. Keep an eye on arlo.com and here on the community for details and announcements on new partner integrations.

Any updates on this? I purchased this thinking I would have HomeKit integration for the doorbell since the wireless cameras are pulled in… now, after trying to connect everything and not having luck with the doorbell, I turn to the forums and find out it isn’t compatible. When is this going to be done? Seems like requests for this integration have been coming in for well over a year. I mean… the wired and wireless doorbells talk to the same hub over the same network, right?

I have a question when it will be possible to add a wireless version of the esental doorbell to HomeKit. I read that arlo is expected to release a software update in early 2022. please let me know when it happens

If you wont Homekit integration with Arlo Essentials Video Doorbell Wire-free (AVD2001) don't buy it

Arlo Essentials Video Doorbell Wire-free (AVD2001) does not work with Apple Homekit, only Arlo Essentials Video Doorbell (AVD1001) does work with Homekit. Arlo said late last year that it would come an update early 2022, now we are in July an the update hasn't come yet. I have talked to support and they say that there are no information when this is coming.

Any update on this? I didn't realize when I was looking for a doorbell that only the wired one worked no the wireless. I should have done more research before getting this. However, I'm not able to get a wired version since its a rental unit and I want to be able to take this with me when I move.

What in the actual h*ll is going on with the HomeKit integration for the wirefree essential doorbell? We were all told that it would be released in early 2022 according to a post by an Arlo rep in another thread. It’s now August. We are past early 2022 and still no HomeKit integration. When was this product released? How long has it been on the market and still no HomeKit integration? Come on WTH

I too have been more than patiently waiting for HomeKit support for the wireless doorbell. When is this going to happen? It would be nice if arlo would enable HSV as well for their cameras but they are too greedy and want you to sign up for their own cloud service. I’m ready to sell all my arlo products and go with another company that fully integrates with HomeKit.

I really really want this feature to integrate with HomeKit! Please please make it happen!

Sorry, but we have been promised this for far too long. My reseller won’t take this item

back any longer. What is the process for getting a refund directly from Arlo please?

I sold all my arlo cameras (3) plus my doorbell, I recommend anyone who reads this to do the same. Arlo does not care about their customers.

100% Agree. They really do not care at all.

Hello Arlo,

The holidays are coming. I love Arlo, but I love Apple Homekit more.

I'm sure my few purchases mean nothing in the big scheme of things, but my family will be getting R___ Video Doorbells for Christmas if HomeKit compatibility isn't released.

Just purchased and installed this. Couldn’t believe it’s not compatible with HomeKit considering most everything else is — including the wired version. Am I to assume Apple is the hold up here not yet providing certification? Seems a lot of people have been waiting for a long time without any update with real substance…

HomeKit Integration

Retired_Member — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 06:45:58 GMT

When is Arlo going to take its customers seriously? HomeKit needs full integration by now. I am so disappointed that the wireless video doorbell STILL does not have HomeKit support. not only that there is very limited useful integrations with HomeKit. you guys are charging a lot of money for these devices, when your competitors are offering more for less money. This is not about privacy when it comes to iCloud recording either, this is Arlo simply not wanting to give up on subscriptions. We have spent a lot of money kitting out our home with Arlo, and are now looking to change to your competitor. stop mucking us around, and listen to your customers.
