Arduino-HomeKit-ESP32

[Deprecated] Native Apple HomeKit accessory implementation for the ESP32 Arduino core.

This Arduino library is a native Apple HomeKit accessory implementation for the ESP32 Arduino core, and works without any additional bridges.

This library is the ESP32 version of Arduino-HomeKit-ESP8266, and will no longer be maintained, since Espressif has published the official HomeKit library for ESP32, available on Espressif’s GitHub repository esp-apple-homekit-adk.

Notes

• This is a “only-can-work” version for ESP32, remains something to be optimized.

• The WolfSSL used for ESP32 is based on 4.3.0-stable version with Hardware Acceleration Support (enabled by default).

• The HomeKit running on ESP32 has a GREAT PERFORMANCE which Pair-Setup can be done in ~1.2s and Pair-Verify in < 0.1s (10x faster than ESP8266).

• The HomeKit storage on ESP32 is based on nvs.

Performance WITH Hardware Acceleration on ESP32

• Preinit: ~0.53s
• Pair Setup Step 1/3: ~0s (The heavy crypto computation is done in Preinit)
• Pair Setup Step 2/3: ~0.53s
• Pair Setup Step 3/3: ~0.20s
• Pair Verify Step 1/2: ~0.05s
• Pair Verify Step 2/2: ~0.02s

Performance WITHOUT Hardware Acceleration on ESP32

• Preinit: ~2.2s
• Pair Setup Step 1/3: ~0s (The heavy crypto computation is done in Preinit)
• Pair Setup Step 2/3: ~2.5s
• Pair Setup Step 3/3: ~0.1s
• Pair Verify Step 1/2: ~0.06s
• Pair Verify Step 2/2: ~0.03s
