Hello, when I go to add my hub and camera to Homekit it gets stuck at "Discovering your device - Please wait"

 

Would you please reset or refresh my Homekit Token.

 

Thank you!

Ashleybarno,

 

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?

Thank you. Didn’t seem to work. 

I restarted the hub and tried to reset it up with HomeKit per the instructions and it didn’t work. 

I removed the hub from my account and readded it to try again. Also didn’t work.


will you try to reset another token please.

I've sent another token reset. Try again to see if you still experience the same behavior.

Hello. That still did not work.

 

After I select the Room I want the Hub attached too, I instantly receive "HomeKit Setup Failed"

The first time Itried, no I forgot to reboot.

 

But I have rebooted twice in following attempts before posting here last time.

Hello,

I followed the steps and was able to get through all the set up screens. I had a message that Arlo and Homekit were successfully bridged, but I do not see any devices in my Home app. 

 

When I go to my Home app on my iPhone, I do not see the base station or my hardwire doorbell camera in my home.

 

Here's screenshots of the Arlo app saying it's connected to HomeKit.

Ashleybarno,

 

The doorbell needs to be synced to the base station to be able to integrated with HomeKit. If the doorbell is synced directly to your home network and not the base station, you will need to remove it and re-onboard it syncing it to the base station.
