Instead of creating a static configLog for display upon start-up, an info log will be generated based on real-time data whenever the 'i' CLI command is requested. This provides for more streamlined error-checking as well.
Rather than call homeSpan.poll() in the main Arduino loop() function, you can instead call homeSpan.start() at the end of the set-up function. This keeps the main Arduino loop() function free for user-defined code that will not block, and does not get blocked by, homeSpan.poll().
If using a dual-core processor, polling now occurs on core 0, instead of the core 1 (where all other Arduino stuff normally runs).
HomeSpan will throw a fatal error and halt processing if both homeSpan.poll() and homeSpan.start() are used in the same sketch.
Need to revisit Television sketch - the latest iOS seemed to have disabled the ability to dynamically set visibility of input sources. Checking/Un-Checking the visibility radio buttons either during pairing, or after pairing on the settings screen, seems to be ignored by the Home App (the same input sources are shown in the selector regardless of any changes made). However, dynamically changing the name of an input source seems to work fine.
All tutorial examples now updated and confirmed working s expected in ios15.4.1 except for Example 17 (Shower). DEV_Identify.h removed from all examples and optional AccessoryInformation() Characteristics deleted to make examples easier to use and understand.
To Do: Review and update "Other Examples" and add link to Example 19 in Tutorials.md
This appears to be a Home App problem. The problem cannot be fixed by adding in ServiceLabel and ServiceIndex (no impact), nor adding in isConfigured(), nor adding Name() Characteristics. The Home App refuses to render the valves regardless of what valve type. They will sometimes appear, and then disappear from the interface for no reason.
Testing with the Apple's HomeKit Simulator yields the same symptoms.
