8 digit HomeKit pair code with Home Assistant needed (VMB4000)

[vejaset]

Hello,

I've been searching for a solution to connect my Arlo base station (VMB4000 - running latest firmware) to Home Assistant through HomeKit device integration, which is requiring an 8 digit pair code. From my knowledge, VMB4000 has been manufactured before Arlo has started supporting HomeKit, so there is no physical 8 digit HomeKit pair code on the base station. I'm also having trouble to get a code from the Arlo Secure app, as it automatically pairs my base station with Apple Home without any code. 

I do not need Apple Home for this, I want to be able to connect my system to Home Assistant. Even though I'm open for options to somehow bridge my system through Apple Home to Home Assistant, if possible.

For moderators, I can provide my base station's serial number, if needed.

Thanks!
