You can (and should) use the HomeSpan Command Line Interface to change this default to a secret code unique for each of your devices. Simply type 'S \' into the Serial Monitor, or specify your desired Setup Code at the outset when configuring your WiFi Credentials using HomeSpan's Temporary WiFi Setup Network. +#### Can you use more than one HomeSpan device on the same HomeKit network? + +* Yes, multiple ESP32's, each running a separate copy of HomeSpan, can be used on the same HomeKit network, provided that each device has a unique *Device ID*, a unique *Host Name*, and a unique *Display Name*. Normally, the *Device ID* is randomly-generated by HomeSpan at start-up and will therefore automatically be unique across multiple devices. Also, unless you override the suffix of the default *Host Name*, it will also be unique across multiple devices since HomeSpan uses the *Device ID* as the suffix of the *Host Name*. The only thing you need to ensure is that you assign a different *Display Name* to each of your devices. See the [HomeSpan API Reference](https://github.com/HomeSpan/HomeSpan/blob/master/docs/Reference.md) for details on how to do this. + #### Does HomeSpan support video and audio streams? * No, HomeSpan does not support streaming services, such as Audio Stream Management, Data Stream Transport Management, or Camera RTP Management. See [HomeSpan Services and Characteristics](ServiceList.md) for a complete list of all Services supported by HomeSpan.
