See [HomeSpan Projects](https://github.com/topics/homespan) for some real-world examples! +* **Updated for compatability with Arduino-ESP32 Board Manager 2.0.1.** + * Maintains backward compatability with all previous versions. + +* **Some new methods and options for advance-use circumstances:** + + * Added *optional* second argument to the `setVal()` method that allows the value of a Characteristic to be updated *without* sending notification messages to HomeKit. Useful for keeping track of duration time when implementing a Sprinkler System - see [HomeSpan Reference Sprinkler](https://github.com/HomeSpan/HomeSpanReferenceSketches/tree/main/ReferenceSprinklers) for an example + + * Added `getLinks()` as a new method to SpanService. Returns a vector of pointers to SpanServices that have been linked to another Service with the addLink() method. Useful for looping over all linked services, such as checking all valves in a Shower System - see [HomeSpan Reference Shower](https://github.com/HomeSpan/HomeSpanReferenceSketches/blob/main/ReferenceShower/ReferenceShower) or an example + + * Added `setPerms()`, `addPerms()`, and `removePerms()` as new methods to SpanCharacteristic. Allows the user to modify (set/add/remove) the default permissions for any Characteristic. Useful for adding/deleting write-permissions for certain Characteristics + + * Added `setPairingCode()` method to the global homeSpan object that allows for programmatically configuring the Pairing Setup Code inside your sketch. See the HomeSpan API for important security considerations when using this function! -* **User-defined Custom Characteristics can be added to HomeSpan with a new macro.** See the [HomeSpan API](https://github.com/HomeSpan/HomeSpan/blob/master/docs/Reference.md#define-custom_charnameuuidpermsformatdefaultvalueminvaluemaxvaluestaticrange) for details (for *advanced* users only) - See [Releases](https://github.com/HomeSpan/HomeSpan/releases) for details on all changes included in this update. # HomeSpan Resources
