HomeKit Support for Arlo Video Doorbell

Hi. I'd like to request that you please add HomeKit support to the Arlo Video Doorbell ASAP. I have three Arlo Pro 3 cameras, and actively use HomeKit support with that model. The only missing piece of the puzzle is the Arlo Video Doorbell. Thank you in advance!

I really hope this would be coming for Q1 2021. Please Arlo, be committed to your community and add this must have feature 🙂

if it's a matter of showing numbers, yes, indeed. HomeKit is truly missing for full integration.

 

According to an Arlo KB, it should already be working if paired with a supported base station.  Well it doesn't work. So please consider this another request to add support and in the meantime, update your incorrect documentation.

Spent $200 on a video doorbell, but no Homekit support? What's the deal? This is bonkers in 2021. Arlo, get with the program.

Still waiting on Apple HomeKit compatibility. Very frustrating that this doesn't exist.

Due to the lack of answers, I wonder if anyone at Arlo reads the wishes of loyal customers ...

Do we need to update firmware? Is this available to a newer model only or previous models are also supported?

I have such setup and I don't see mine in HomeKit.
