Apple HomeKit stuck at "Discovering your device. Please wait."

Apple HomeKit stuck at "Discovering your device. Please wait."

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?

The Arlo base station I have is VMB4000r3

Hi Kway13,

 

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?

Re: Apple HomeKit stuck at "Discovering your device. Please wait."

I need a reset token please, too. Thank you.

I need a reset token too. Thank you.

Sir, Ma’am, I think I might need one of these token resets too. Would be amazing if we could action these ourselves!

Hey NielsV,

 

I've sent a token request to your Base Station again. If you're still having issues, contact the Support Team to further investigate this issue. You will find several options for contacting support in the provided link.

Re: Apple HomeKit stuck at "Discovering your device. Please wait."

It seems I need another reset token sent. Nothin about my setup has changed. The Arlo app should have an option to send a reset token so that we don’t have to contact support every several months.
