## ❗Latest Update - HomeSpan 1.7.2 (4/6/2023)
* **SpanPoint support for the ESP8266!**
* Use ESP-NOW on an ESP8266 to connect to HomeSpan running on an ESP32
* See the [SpanPoint Tutorial Page](docs/NOW.md) for more info as well as a detailed ESP8266 example
* New ability to set OTA password from within sketch
* See the [OTA Page](docs/OTA.md) for details
* **SpanPoint WiFi channel scanning upgrade**
* SpanPoint now saves the last WiFi channel successfully used for transmission in non-volatile storage
* Avoids the need for SpanPoint to restart a full scan of all channels upon reboot
* Dramatically extends battery life when used in conjunction with deep-sleep functionality
* **New SpanToggle class**
* Similar to SpanButton, but designed for toggle switches
* Integrated de-bounce logic prevents false triggers
* Ideal for use with Contact Sensors
* Added logic to allow duplicates of the same Custom Characteristic to be "defined" in more than one file in a sketch
* Allows the use of the same Custom Characteristic across multiple files in the same sketch without the compiler throwing a "redefinition error"
* See the [API Reference](docs/Reference.md) for details
* **Added Television Speaker Service**
* Control the volume of a Television from Apple's Remote App
* See the [Television Services Page](docs/TVServices.md) for details and examples
* **Added support for byte-array ("DATA") Characteristics**
* Useful for experimentation with other HomeKit applications, such as *Eve for HomeKit*
* Includes three new Characteristic methods: `setData()`, `getData()`, and `getNewData()`
* Includes new macro `CUSTOM_CHAR_DATA()` to easily create custom byte-array Characteristics
* Extended functionality of `setValidValues()` to work with more than just UINT8 Characteristics
* Now works with INT, UINT16, and UINT32 Characteristics, as well as UINT8 Characteristics
* See the [API Reference](docs/Reference.md) for details
* **LedPin upgrade**
* New option to invert the PWM signal
* Useful for generating two, separate out-of-phase PWM signals (one inverted, one not) to drive certain two-pin devices in a push/pull manner, such as a piezo-electric buzzer
* New parameters added to `autoPoll()` that allow the user to set priority and chose CPU
* Provides for enhanced performance on dual-processor chips
* See the [API Reference](docs/Reference.md) for details
* Automatic LED Fading!
* Added new methods to LedPin class that enable use of the ESP32's built-in fade controls
* Allows user to specify speed of fade
* Runs in background without consuming any CPU resources
* See the [PWM Page](docs/PWM.md) for details
* **Bug Fixes**
* Added logic to prevent the extraneous broadcasting of an Access Point SSID when SpanPoint is being used
* Added ability to Clone the Pairing Data from one device to another
* Adds new 'P' and 'C' commands to the CLI
* Enables a broken device to be swapped for a new device (running the same sketch) without the need to unpair the old device or pair the new device
* Avoids loss of automations, scenes, and any other Home App customizations associated with device
* New and old device can be different chips (e.g. ESP32-S2 versus ESP32-C3)
* See the new [Cloning Page](Cloning.MD) for details
