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?

My base is not discoverable when trying to connect to HomeKit.
Can you send me a token reset request to my base station? 
Thanks!

Hi ethan_rose, gjsiemon, LCanato, Adds, and Inzano,

 

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?

Hi,

I’ve had homekit integration work ok for a while until suddenly it didn’t. Tried to disconnect and reconnect, but as many in this thread I am stuck on the discovery. Can I kindly ask the same token reset that seems to have helped many others also ?

Thanks

Added a home hub and now I can’t see my cameras when I try to set up Apple HomeKit. I can’t even see the base station now, I think I need a token reset. Can you help me out?

Hello Arlo Customer Service. I am having this same issue. I use a Google WiFi Router and all my apps / software are up to date. Can you resend a reset token for my Home Kit?

Hi - thanks for sending the reset token. However it still isn’t working and still stuck at the discovering stage. Very keen to get this working. Thanks

Yea; still not working for me either. Unplugged for a good 5 minutes and plugged back in. I have the most updated app as well as the most updated Firmware (1.16.3.4_3614_c289687). I’ve read on other forums you guys might have an issue with it working with HomeKit on Mesh Routers...is this something you’ve looked into?

May I also receive the token.

I am unable to add the Homekit back after they stopped working.
