Arlo/HomeKit Integration Resolution

[Thomamueller52]

I had an ongoing problem where Arlo/HomeKit integration stop working. I would have to restart the base station to get things going again.

I determined that if an Arlo app on iOS is not running I lose the integration. This would happen while driving and losing cell service or shutting down Arlo instead of closing it on my iPhone.

Solution was to sacrifice an iPad to run Arlo app all of the time. I used my wife’s email to login on the iPad.

Integration with HomeKit has not failed in 2 weeks now.

I rely on HomeKit notifications popping of on my TV (via ATV) when the alarm goes off in the middle of the night. Now I get more sleep and confirm there is no intruder faster an easier.
