Note that HomeSpan's Service and Characteristic Classes already contain all the required HAP fields, such as the UUID, Format, and Permissions, so you don't need to specify any of these parameters. Additionally, when first starting up, HomeSpan begins by validating the device's configuration to ensure each Service you instantiate includes all required Characteristics, but does not include any Characteristics that are neither required nor optional. If any errors are found, HomeSpan reports them to the Arduino Serial Monitor and halts the program.
