I'm not sure if I am missing something here?

 

I have a BaseStation 4540 installed as a bridge with Apple HomeKit (this took some amount of time to actually get it to work). 

Despite trying a number of times, there seems  to be no ability on both the Arlo Secure App or Apple

HomeKit App to add my Essential Generation 2 Cameras. 


I've tried to sync the BaseStation and the cameras again. 


All the Gen 2 Cameras and the BaseStation have the latest firmware. 

I have removed one camera from my account and added it again. This does not work.


I have removed my BaseStation from HomeKit and added it again. There was no facility to add 'another' device. It was added as a bridge again. But no cameras.  

 

If I can't solve this issue, I'm off to buy new cameras from another manufacturer. Arlo seems to be too difficult to get running. I have an Aqara Lock that was a breeze to integrate, and I'm staring to think I picked the wrong system!

Just to be certain...

 

Are the cameras connected through your smarthub?  (not through your home wifi)?
