VMB4000r3 homekit fails with uncertified accessory error

[spatel9114]

I’ve set up my VMB4000 Base station with 1 Arlo Pro camera and 3 Arlo Essential cameras, and when I try and configure HomeKit on the base station, it gets stuck on the discovering step and won’t actually connect. Can I get some help?

[Jarklejam]

This seems like a very common issue. I just set up my Ultra Smarthub and get the same “uncertified” error. Can I get a new token?

Jarklejam,

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?

I hav a brand new kit with two Arlo ultra 2 cameras and a base station.  I get a warning that the it is an "uncertified accessory" and the set up fails.

I rebooted the base station, deleted and re-added it.  Same error.

Also the same problem - please send token - model is VMB4000r3

Thank you

Hi @JamesC - I have rebooted (by removing and reapplying power) and followed the instructions on the link you provided.

I have now tried this three times.

Unfortunately (as per the attached screenshot) although my devices are "found" on each occasion it doesn't seem to progress past this point. Even it I leave it "discovering" for >5 minutes.

I have checked that there are no firmware updates available. I am running 1.16.3.4_3614_c289687

Any suggestions?

Your assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

[JamesC]
