I had HomeKit set up but then removed it because I was reorganizing things. Now when I try to add my base station again the app just gets stuck on "Discovering your device. Please wait." I saw this posted elsewhere for a different hub and support sent a token reset request which seemed to resolve the issue for others. Is that what I need here?

Hi JessicaP,

 

My ARLO is also stuck at the discovery page when trying to add to HomeKit. Can you please send a reset token to my base station?

 

Thanks

Thanks. I followed the instructions you mentioned, cycling power on the base station. After booting up and attempted to setup homekit again the on base station, it is still stuck on “Discovering Your Device” step

Hi MichalL, Semag102, migman_2001, etblack,

 

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?

Sorry to jump on the bandwagon but I have reset my HomeKit and cannot get my Arlo base station to HomeKit now.

I’m also getting “Discovering your device. Please wait” please could you send me the reset token?

 

Thanks

Hello.

 

Same as many others, my Arlo system (app and HomeKit) have worked great for a long time. Sometime since October, HomeKit stopped working and the system disappeared. It still works fine in both local and remote from the app. I cannot discover HomeKit from the app nor the base station from HomeKit. 

 

I have tried:

 

- Power on reset of VMB 4000 and cams

- Delete and reinstall of Arlo app

- Discovery of HomeKit from Arlo app

- Discovery of base station from HomeKit

 

I noted many successes here by reseting the token. Based on that, could you please reset mine so I can give that a try? Let me know if you need more info.

 

Thank you .. Rick

I am trying to re-connect to HomeKit. This used to be working, but I guess something changed. In following the instructions I am stuck at "Discovering your device. Please wait." It appears you can send a token request to my base station that will make it work better upon rebooting.

 

Can you do this for me? Is there any extra information you need to get from me?

I have the same problem as a lot of people have, Homekit stuck at discovery your device. Please wait..... I found the problem could be fix by resetting homekit token. Could you please send me a reset token for my Arlo base station VMB4000r3?
