I am following the instructions to connect (scanning, entering codes, settings) HomeKit and it does not even provide an option to do so. 

 

Is this something that can be done?

Aldorusso,

 

To setup Arlo HomeKit integration with your Arlo device, take a look at the following instructions: How do I connect my Arlo camera to Apple HomeKit?

 

At what point are you experiencing an issue during these steps?

Home kit does not recognize the devices and scanning does not work.

Aldorusso,

 

Are your cameras connected to an Arlo Base Station or SmartHub?

Hi James

 

I am also having an issue adding my VMB4540r3 with Arlo Pro 4 cameras to my Homekit, I have updated all firmware, IOS apps and hard powered off the base station. The setup sits at (Discovering your device. Please wait. ) with no devices found. 

 

Cheers

haydonz,

 

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

 

I've done that and it still gets stuck at discovering devices after step 4.

haydonz,

 

You may need to factory reset and try again if you're still experiencing an issue. (Keep in mind you will need to resync all cameras and set up any custom modes as if the system were new)

 

To factory reset, follow these instructions: How can I reset my Arlo SmartHub or base station to the default values?

Thanks James

 

I've reset the base station and am still having the same issue (both before and after reconnecting the cameras). I have an Arlo baby monitor already directly connected to the HomeKit, could this be interfering? 

 

Cheers
