Integration with ESP-NOW

I need to send data from an ESP8266 to another over Wifi while at least one of these has Homekit running. Before I implement HomeKit I was using ESP-NOW, but it won't work at the same time with HomeKit, is there another way? like http request. I see that HomeSpan has made it own ESP-NOW integration in order to not mess up the wifi settings, but it works only with ESP32, is it possible to do the same with this?

You can also run one as server and open a client on the other. Works fine for me. That run's in parallel of the Homekitprotocol. Standard ESP8266 stuff. You can use any port on TCP level. I use 999 but it does not matter as long as you don't use the Homekit ports.
