nefertiti007,

 

Are you experiencing an issue when trying to set up HomeKit? Could you provide more details?

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 and try setting up HomeKit again using these instructions: How do I connect my Arlo camera to Apple HomeKit?

Thanks James. How would you know which model / serial of my base ? And how do i get rid of those unread notifications on badge ? See attachments

Badge notifications should clear once the library is viewed for all the days that have notifications and have no been viewed. Your base station model/serial number can be found on the sticker on the bottom of the base station.

That token reset did not work. Same issue again on setting up. I fully powered down and followed the instructions

nefertiti007,

 

I sent the token based off the email address you have associated with your community account.

 

If you're still unable to set up, you may need to factory reset the base station and then attempt to set up again.

 

Regarding the badge notifications, are you using the latest version of the Arlo mobile app from the app store?
