Apple Homekit stuck at "Discovering your device. Please Wait" for Arlo VMB5000 SmartHub

[strict9dote]

I am trying to connect my Arlo Ultra base station VMB5000r4 with firmware 1.16.24_629_f4757f1 to Apple Homekit.  I have restarted the base station numerous times, and after hitting the Set up button, it is just stuck on "Discovering your device. please wait.  Please help!

Hi strict9dote,

I've sent a token reset request to your SmartHub (VMB5000) 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 for high jacking your thread, but I have the same problem.
Could you please also send me a token reset request? 🙂

Thank you! this worked perfectly after the reset token was sent!
