Notification says Arlo Base Station firmware needs an update, but battery level is too low. Problem is this Arlo Base Station does not have a battery, it is AC powered.

I get same message when looking Arlo Base (VMB4500r2) device info -> Firmware. Cameras ( Pro 2) don't have any firmware updates waiting, nor the message.

I'm having the same problem with my VMB4000 base station. 

Unable to update firmware due to "low battery" on a device that's plugged in to a wall socket. 

This makes no sense.  What's going on here?

I had some issues with sone cameras and had to reset and speak to the helpline. I was told to ignore the message as they could see my hub was on the latest software.
