Can't connect chime 2

[Eodwoz]

Seems to be a reoccurring issue. I scan QR code, it asks to connect, amber light on chime flashes then white fade & then states it can’t connect. Using updated app on iPhone, doorbell, multiple cameras all work flawlessly???

had exactly the same issue on my iphone, tried 5-6 times and only after I saw this post decided to try it on my ipad instead. worked and now my chime is functional.

Just wasted 10hrs of my precious time to figure this out.  

- Do not use iphone 15 for setup, its just not going to work (used an old iPad)

- Make sure you are on 2.4Ghz (or enable steering)

- Stand close to the chime2 while setup (I kept the iPad literally on top of the chime)

Overall, one of the worst devices to setup I have ever seen in the last 5 years.

Just got this device since most of the cameras and doorbells are all arlo.. (they do a pretty decent job), not sure why Chime2 is bad...

Given a chance I would give away all arlo devices and get something else for the amount of time/frustration to setup this chime.

I’ve tried everything above including my iPad. NOTHING!

I don’t have anymore energy for this. 
I have so many Arlo devices and have recommended them to friends and family. It’s very disappointing that this issue has gone on for so many years, essentially unresolved

Is it an older version of iPad? I think the trick is to use an older version of IOS. Or an Android device

Not sure that is true in the case of iOS - I think the issue is specific to the iPhone 15.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same issue.

[raven87]

Yes, by using an iPad .. iphone15 has issues in setting up the Arlo chime2… 

What device are you using?

Hi, just purchased chime 2.

says to scan qr code. 
the we code is very small. I have an iPhone 15 pro. It simply can't pick up the obscure small qr.

please advise.

many thanks

You can try taking a photo of the QR code and printing it out.

I am having an issue re-onboarding my Chime 2.   Please have a member of the Arlo development team reach out to me with the fix.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S23+ phone.

Same problem here. When I try to add the Chime 2 I get an error saying it cant connect to the arlo_innc network. Tried iPhone 15 and iPad Air.

My chime will not connect either. Have attempted multiple times. Please send the fix to my email Arlo.

Please send the workaround.
