@ -9,14 +9,16 @@ The HomeSpan Library is invoked by including *HomeSpan.h* in your Arduino sketch
At runtime this HomeSpan will create a global object named `homeSpan` that supports the following methods:
* `void begin(Category catID, char *displayName, char *hostNameBase, char *modelName);`
* Initializes HomeSpan
* Initializes HomeSpan.
* **Must** be called at the beginning of each sketch before any other HomeSpan functions and is typically placed near the top of the Arduino `setup()` method, but **after** `Serial.begin()` so that initialization diagnostics can be output to the Serial Monitor.
* All arguments are **optional**
* *catID* - the HAP Category HomeSpan broadcasts for pairing to HomeKit. Default is [Category::Lighting](Categories.md)
* *displayName* - the MDNS display name broadcast by HomeSpan. Default is "HomeSpan Server"
* *hostNameBase* - the full MDNS host name is broadcast by HomeSpan as *hostNameBase-DeviceID*.local, where DeviceID is a unique 6-byte code generated automatically by HomeSpan. Default is "HomeSpan"
* *modelName* - the HAP model name HomeSpan broadcasts for pairing to HomeKit. Default is "HomeSpan-ESP32"

The following **optional** `homeSpan` methods override various HomeSpan initialization parameters used in `begin()`, and therefore **should** be called before `begin()` to take effect. If not called, HomeSpan uses the default parameter indicated.
