I have the Arlo Pro 2 camera system and trying to connect it to HomeKit. The Arlo site confirms that it is available for the Pro2. When I select HomeKit in the App the App goes to "discovering your device, Please wait" and that is as far as it goes. I have checked the Arlo firmware and it's at the latest version. The Arlo is connected to the same network and I have rebooted the Arlo Hub.

Any ideas folks?

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

I noticed connectivity issues with Homekit with iOS 14 and then noticed my hub had a pending software upgrade. Applied the upgrade, re-booted again (i.e. a second time), and everything started working again. This with the latest version of iOS.

I dunno if that all might help or not.

I see this crop up from time to time on the Arlo community forums, sounds like a support ticket to Arlo and them re issusing a token sorts it out.

WB by the way mate :o)
