Mitsubishi Heat Pump connection options to Homekit?
DIY Plug in: this Github Project describes a way to diy a plug in connection running on ESPhome for a few $ of parts, but I'm a bit of a novice and don't know how I would connect this to Homekit.

Mitsubishi Mini-Split - any way to add smart / WiFi capabilities?
If you Home Assistant or ESPHome, this is the jam. https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump

ESP32 3 UARTs freeze on boot.
Highly likely you're experiencing a watchdog error on an idle core. The only way to know for sure is to enable logger, which will be a challenge here. You can see an example here., but this is a widely reported and poorly understood issue.

Multi Split Heating/Cooling with Home Automation?
If you can add homeassistant, you should look at https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump -- we're using it with 5 split units. It works great, is faster than infrared, and cheaper than the wired or wireless control options from Mitsubishi.

The smart home is flailing as a concept–because it sucks
If your Mitsubishi uses IR for it's remote, this probably would work: https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump
Or, you can use a Broadlink IR blaster to clone the remote.
If your heat pump talks to MEL cloud (Mitsubishi's cloud thingy) then this should work: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/melcloud/
I have yet to buy a "smart" device that I haven't been able to control through HA. The Broadlink RF/IR bridges even makes anything with a remote automatable.
Seriously, If it wasn't for Home Assistant, the "smartness" of smart devices would be next to useless.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mel-heatpump-homekit and esphome-mitsubishiheatpump you can also consider the following projects:
mitsubishi2MQTT - Mitsubishi to MQTT with ESP8266 module
Home Assistant - :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.
