I have a vmb4000 that i'm trying to hook into homekit, and i'm stuck at the 'Discovering your device. Please wait' screen. I have a doorbell (wired) connected to the base station. Could I get a homekit token reset like the others? I read some other posts and it seems that fixed a lot of them.

benjaminw,

 

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?

It seems that did not work. I'm very confused. Here are some details that might help:

Firmware: 1.17.1.2_3987_0e6c162

Hardware: VMB4000r3

Funny enough, right after I posted I tried one more time and it worked. I didn't do anything different, phone just sat there for a bit. Thanks for the token reset!
