// How to access Characteristic values: // HOW TO ACCESS A CHARACTERISTIC'S NEW AND CURRENT VALUES
// -------------------------------------------------------
// //
// HomeSpan stores the values for its Characteristics in a union structure that allows for different types. The current value of a Characteristic // HomeSpan stores the values for its Characteristics in a union structure that allows for different types, such as floats, booleans, etc. The specific
// is stored in a union named "value" whereas upon an update request, the requested value is stored in a union named "newValue." To access the data // types are defined by HAP for each Characteristic. Looking up whether a Characteristic is a uint8 or uint16 can be tiresome, so HomeSpan abstracts
// underlying either "value" or "newValue" you need to select the element of the union that matches the type. This is arguably sloppy, but using // all these details. Since C++ adheres to strict variable typing, this is done through the use of template methods. Every Characteristic supports
// C++ templates did not seem to make the process any less cumbersome. The names of each element are based on those specified in HAP Table 6-5, and map // the following two methods:
// to the Arduino data types as follows:
// //
// BOOL -> (boolean) // getVal<type>() - returns the CURRENT value of the Characterisic, after casting into "type"
// UINT8 -> (uint8_t) // getNewVal<type>() - returns the NEW value (i.e. to be updated) of the Characteritic, after casting into "type"
// UINT16 -> (uint16_t)
// UINT32 -> (uint32_t)
// UINT64 -> (uint64_t)
// INT -> (int)
// FLOAT -> (double)
// STRING -> (const char *)
// //
// In the above example we created pointer named "power" to point to our newly-created "On" Characteristic. Hence, to access the current value of that // For example, MyChar->getVal<int>() returns the current value of SpanCharacterstic MyChar as an int, REGARDLESS of how the value is stored by HomeSpan.
// Characteristic we use "power->value.BOOL" To access to new value requested by HomeKit for this update, we use "power->newValue.BOOL" as shown above. // Similarly, MyChar->getVal<double>() returns a value as a double, even it is stored as as a boolean (in which case you'll either get 0.00 or 1.00).
// In most cases, we can manage the update by just reading the newValue requested, regardless of the whatever the current value is, but access to the // Of course you need to make sure you understand the range of expected values so that you don't try to access a value stored as 2-byte int using getVal<uint8_t>().
// current value is available if neeed. // But it's perfectly okay to use getVal<int>() to access the value of a Characteristic that HAP insists on storing as a float, even though its range is
// strictly between 0 and 100 in steps of 1. Knowing the range and step size is all you need to know in determining you can access this as an <int> or even a <uint8_t>.
//
// Because most Characteristic values can properly be cast into int, getVal and getNewVal both default to <int> if the template parameter is not specified.
// As you can see above, we retrieved the new value HomeKit requested for the On Characteristic that we named "power" by simply calling power->getNewVal().
// Since no template parameter is specified, getNewVal() will return an int. And since the On Characteristic is natively stored as a boolean, getNewVal()
// will either return a 0 or a 1, depending on whether HomeKit is requesting the Characteristic to be turned off or on.
//
// You may also note that in the above example we needed to use getNewVal(), but did not use getVal() anywhere. This is because we know exactly what
// to do if HomeKit requests an LED to be turned on or off. The current status of the LED (on or off) does not matter. In latter examples we will see
// instances where the current state of the device DOES matter, and we will need to access both current and new values.
//
// Finally, there is one additional method for Characteristics that is not used above but will be in later examples: updated(). This method returns a
// boolean indicating whether HomeKit has requested a Characteristic to be updated, which means that getNewVal() will contain the new value it wants to set
// for that Characteristic. For a Service with only one Characteristic, as above, we don't need to ask if "power" was updated using power->updated() because
// the fact the the update() method for the Service is being called means that HomeKit is requesting an update, and the only thing to update is "power".
// But for Services with two or more Characteristics, update() can be called with a request to update only a subset of the Characteristics. We will
// find good use for the updated() method in later, multi-Characteristic examples.
// How to determine the value type for any Characteristic: // WHAT THE RETURN CODE FOR update() MEANS
// // ---------------------------------------
// All HomeKit Characteristics that have been implemented in HomeSpan are defined in "Services.h" in the HomeSpan library. The top part of "Services.h" defines
// all the implemented Services. The bottom part defines the collection of Characteristics needed for those Services. Within the definition of each
// Characteristic you'll see the HAP ID number, as well as the data type, such as (boolean), (uint16_t), etc. Select the corresponding element name
// from the table above to access the underlying "value" or "newValue" data elements.

// //
