Reason using PORT 5556 #214

Hii, I would like to ask about PORT you are using. Is there any specific reason you are using PORT = 5556 ?

This is located inside esp-homekit/src/server.c

#define PORT 5556

I would say the correct port is 661 since the protocol is HAP and that name is registered as such on https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml?&page=13 . But anyhow, any number will work since that is the point of the mdns system.

Thank you for your reply. If there's two devices with same port number, is it gonna be a problem ? Like suddenly undiscoverable.

Two devices will have unique IP addresses, so it should not be a problem.
