    https://github.com/Mixiaoxiao/Arduino-HomeKit-ESP8266 you mentioned above, is a port of the espressif lib to nonos/arduino core. It shares the wolfssl lib used by espressif, but as it is portrd to nonos, wifi disconnects during srp and devices cannot connect to it. There’s an improved version here: https://github.com/Yurik72/ESPHap which have patched wolfssl that I have changed to prevent wifi disconnections on SRP calculations. Yuri (the Author) made a great job improving original port, like memory management, moving pairings storage to the file, and so on. It still has wolfssl, which is at least redundant as arduino core already have bearssl bundled. Also, this lib has a memory leak during the pairing process, which is not so important as pairing usually made just once. I am currently trying to find where this leak is, but looks like it is somewhere in between the lib and wolfssl. So, I’d like to replace wolfssl with bundled bearssl, if I’d have a free tome to do that.
