Needed to support ESP-NOW on ESP-8266 chips, which seem to only work if connecting into softAP MAC Address once HomeSpan is connected to WiFi network (prior to connection ESP-8266 will properly connect to normal STA address as well as softAP address).
Noticed that the Arduino IDE 2.0 interface was not displaying Other Examples.
This is because Other Examples was not under the "examples" folder. Not sure why this was the case - I should have originally put it there (?) Regardless, once moved into the examples folder, Other Examples now properly shows up in both Arduino IDE version 1 and version 2.
