Trying to pair with homeassistant homekit - need a token reset?

[dopey1620]

I'm trying to pair a vmb4540 base station with home assistant via homekit and it's asking for a home kit pairing code

My device does not have a homekit pairing code anywhere. 

I've seen posts on here that I need to request a token reset. How do I go about doing that?

I have reset your HomeKit token, Please reboot your Base Station or Smart Hub and try again.

Thank you

Basta2024,

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?

No.  You don't use the QR pairing code method.

Ok. how do i pair it with homeassistant then? using the hacs integration, or something else?

 For homekit, if you see "Library" in your app menu, use the "setup an arlo device without a setup code" here:

If instead you see "Feed" and "Dashboard", then use

Arlo doesn't support homeassistant. There is a third party custom component called Aarlo, but I've never used it, and have no idea how well is works.
