The demo accessory (tried lightbulb and thermostat demo) seems unreachable using remote access (through homekit center like iPad/AppleTV) Same time other my accessories works fine (using avahi-client for advertise) Once the controller (iPhone) registering in local network - all works again Any hints please?

This works perfectly fine for me. Make sure your AppleTV/iPad is enabled as HomeKit hub and is in the same WiFi network as HomeKit accessories.

Great to hear the thing should work. Now need to understand why it doesnt work for me. May be I have to set hostname or anything else?

AppleTV/iPad is enabled as HomeKit

Yes, my other accessories available. Only this ESP-based is not

FYI I run 20 or so ESP based device of various types and remote access works flawlessly

ESP8266_RTOS example tested and remote access works! Still have pairing problems: 3-4 false tries to pair

@d4rkmen I have seen this also recently, we think it may be related to some memory management issue in recent version of esp-open-rtos, still investigating
