HomeSpan pairs directly to HomeKit via your home WiFi network without the need for any external bridges or components. With HomeSpan you can use the full power of the ESP32's I/O functionality to create custom control software and/or hardware to automatically operate external devices from the Home App on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or with Siri. -HomeSpan requires version 2.0.0 or later of the [Arduino-ESP32 Board Manager](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32), and has been tested up through version 2.0.14 (recommended). HomeSpan can be run on the original ESP32 as well as Espressif's ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3, and ESP32-S3 chips. +HomeSpan requires version 2 of the [Arduino-ESP32 Board Manager](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32). HomeSpan can be run on the original ESP32 as well as Espressif's ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3, and ESP32-S3 chips. -HomeSpan is currently NOT compatible with version 3.X of the Arduino-ESP32 Board Manager, since version 3 contains many breaking changes and is not backwards-compatible with verison 2.X of the Arduino-ESP32 Board Manager. At present, HomeSpan can only be compiled under version 2.X of the Board Manager. +HomeSpan is currently NOT compatible with version 3.X of the Arduino-ESP32 Board Manager, since version 3 contains many breaking changes and is not backwards-compatible with version 2.X of the Arduino-ESP32 Board Manager.

Without a Home Hub, HomeSpan cannot send notifications to the Home App - things like pushbuttons and temperature sensors will not be able to transmit updates to the Home App. +> Apple's new HomeKit architecture [requires the use of a Home Hub](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207057) (either a HomePod or Apple TV) for full and proper operation of any HomeKit device, including those based on HomeSpan.
