This allows the "src.ino" test file to once again properly compile without requiring modifications to any existing HomeSpan sketches. This was needed to ensure src.ino can find object code in "extras", which is now required to use the new statusDevice() method. Since the Arduino IDE only copies files that are in "src" folders, "extras" needed to be moved to "src/extras". For backwards compatibility with all other sketches, the "extras" directory now contains stubs for the ".h" include files.
Rather than use ESP32 timers, simply spawn a new task that turn on/off LED using simple delays. By avoiding the use of the ESP32 timer, we are no longer limited by the number of Blinkers possible. Also, Blinker relied on the timer interrupt, which crashed when it tried to call Pixel since Pixel in turn uses interrupts from the RMT. Switching to spawned tasks is much cleaner and does not consume more CPU time since the timer interrupts were driven by CPU anyway.
Blinker class and generic LED class are now in extras.h. Blinkable Interface is also in extras.h.
To Do: Incorporate new Blinker class into HomeSpan code
Eliminated constructor that had no pin parameter. Pin parameter is now always required. Since PushButton was not part of HomeSpan API, these changes should not impact any users.
This optional flag does not seem to have any affect on the Home App and does not produce any messages indicating that the device needs additional setup. Was hopeful this would have prevented the "Not Supported" message on a Home App Tile that is configured as a bridge, but without any other Accessories.
Needed to set idle_level to LOW even though idle_output was already disabled. This is likely because 2.0.4 introduced an entirely new API for RMT, though version 2.0.3 IDF functions and structures seem to be accepted as well.
Only initialize MDNS, WebLog, and OTA when first connecting to WiFi. Do not re-initialize upon re-connections after a disconnect.
Also, add number of disconnects, and reset_reason() to WebLog
Added Feather.h mappings; and
Changed RMT clock logic in RFControl to check for presence of RMT_SYS_CON_REG instead of simply looking for CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32C3;
** NOTE: Can ignore warnings about RMT_CH4...CH7+RX_LIM_REG redefine errors. This has been reported to Espressif IDF Github, been acknowledged as a bug, and will be fixed in a future release of the IDF. Since HomeSpan does NOT use the RMT peripheral for RECEIVING, these warning messages have no effect.
The only reason to have used getAccessory(aid) is to delete it, so the delete command is now invoked automatically. Function returns 0 on success (matching aid found) or -1 on fail (aid not found)
Method homeSpan.updateDatabase(boolean updateMDNS) recomputes database hash and compares with previous hash. If changed, config number is updated and saved in NVS along with new hash. If updateMDNS is true, a new "c#" MDNS record is also broadcast with the new config number. This triggers HomeKit to call for a database refresh. Method returns true if config number has changed, or false if it has not.
