Hi, I need a setup code to pair my base station with HomeKit.  It is the VMB5000

From what im reading I think I need a token reset?

See if you are able to see an accessory that you can remove:
Go to the Home App.

Long-press the accessory, select Settings, and choose Remove Accessory.

It does not show up in HomeKit for me to remove.  I am unable to get past the screen where I have to scan the setup code.

If all the steps I have provided were done, I do not have any other steps to provide. You should with those steps be able to set up without a code.

What are the next steps then if my device is defective?

It wouldn't be the device that is defective. It could be something to do with the Apple homekit app itself.

What makes you so certain of that?

 

I have added my Hue bulbs to homekit, my thermostat, my HomePod, my Apple TVs with no issue.

 

The only thing I cannot add is the Arlo basestation.  

In addition, I have tried adding on both of my iPhones.
