Port used for HAP services.
Hi, I have a question about the port used for HAP services. Can you provide me with the details of port HomeKit services or any recourses I can refer. Thank you in advanced.

I’d expect you’ll want to use mDNS queries on UDP 5353 to poke around. (BonJeff app or ilk is handy here.)
The usual references are to the following ports: UDP 5353 (mDNS), TCP 51826, and TCP 51827
But I suspect those latter two ports are not necessarily fixed, and that asking mDNS is the intended path.

I don’t know if Matter changes this.
That mDNS is the only fixed port is why the other ports aren’t included in the Apple list of well-known ports, too.
