Should now work with ESP32-S2 and C3. Allows for as many LEDs and Servos as there are channels and timers across low and high (esp32 only) modes. Allows LED to be set with floating point precession instead of just uint8. Allows specification of LED frequency for each LED (1-65535 Hz). Automatically provides maximum duty resolution for frequency chosen.
Simplified enableAutoStartAP() so it no longer takes any arguments. It now simply enables the auto launch of the WiFi Access Point at start-up if WiFi Credentials are not found.
New method setApFunction() will now be used to set an alternative method for the WiFi Access Point. This will be called anytime 'A' is typed into the CLI, which also covers the auto-launch of the AP at start-up a well as starting it via the Control Button, since both of these functions call processCommand('A').
To enable save/restore for a Characteristic, set second parameter to TRUE when instantiating. Since first parameter was optional as well, this requires setting it as well.
Next up: Must add logic to setVal() to store new value as well.
Allows the user to add a command function to the Command Line Interface. All User Commands are defined with a '@' prefix.
To Do: Document this new feature.
Greatly simplifies use interface. No need to specify or save channels. And no need to even save pin number since that can be found using LedPin->getPin() method whenever needed.
Both classes check that total number of combined instantiations does not exceed 16. ServoPin() has additional limit of only 8 instantiations.
DEPRECATED: PwmPin(). Keep for backwards compatibility only.
TO DO: Update Tutorial Examples to replace PwmPin with LedPin, and update Extras.h documentations with LedPin and ServoPin.
This is a replacement for PwmPin(). It keeps track of channel numbers internally, which greatly simplifies the user interface. Starts by using the 8 Low Speed Timer channels and then moves to the 8 High Speed Timer channels if more than 8 LedPins are instantiated. Throws a non-fatal error if more than 16 LedPins are instantiated, and ignores any attempts to set the duty cycle of those channels.
Removed need to include channel number in set() method. Why was this ever there? Need to update Examples and PwmPin docs. But keep stub method that includes channel for backwards compatibility.
Only throw a non-fatal warning instead of a fatal error if a Service is missing a required Characteristic. This allows for user flexibility in leaving out required Characteristics for Services that don't seem to need them (contrary to the HAP docs).
Also, changed PositionState Characteristic back to Required (instead of Optional) in WindowCovering Service (as specified by HAP). If PositionState is not included this will only throw an error instead of a warning as a result of the above change.
To Do: Update Example 13 to properly incorporate PositionState Characteristic.
Check is not applied to STRING Characteristics. Check is performed at end of each Accessory definition so will account for any changes to min/max as a result of calls to setRange(). If initial value is outside allowable range, a WARNING (not an ERROR) is thrown.
Also added new flag "staticRange" for all Characteristics that indicates whether the min/max range can be changed. An ERROR will be thrown if setRange is attempted for a Characteristic having staticRange=true.
Next TO DO: Complete entry of default min/max into all Characteristics (except BOOL and STRING) defined Span.h so that setRange() error checking works for all Characteristics.
Warning will be thrown if setVal() request is outside of mix/max range for the Characteristic, though min/max range not yet modified by SpanRange().
TO DO: Create new Characteristic methods setRange(typename T_MIN, typename T_MAX) and setRange(typename T_MIN, typename T_MAX, typename T_STEP) that will reset min/max, or min/max/step, and trigger required output in database. Add in checks to ensure setRange is NOT used to STRING or BOOLEAN. Also add check to ensure STEP is always>0. Add new UVAL for STEP that is normally zero, which indicates NO step size has been set (and does not need to be reported to database). Then, set warnings about SpanRange being deprecated at some point in the future.
Added Characteristics.h file that defines all static data for HAP Characteristics. Changed macros in Services.h to use this new HapChar structure.
Code is now more streamlined and ready for mix/max range-checking to be added.
Functionality is identical, but template has been moved into UVal structure along with setVal, which simplifies code and allows for other uses if needed.
Ensures robustness and is fully backwards compatible. User does NOT have to specify a template parameter, as the compiler determines this from the setVal() argument itself. Allows for any numeric type to be properly mapped to correct HAP format for the Characteristic.
This change is also needed to prepare for the refactoring of SpanRange, the addition of UVals to store HAP min/max, and new error-checking of min/max limits within setVal.
Updated setVal() logic to ensure that every possible combination of parameter type and Characteristic type is handled properly, and without generating a compile-time error related to ambiguous parameters.
New SpanService method addLink(SpanService *svc), where svc is a pointer to the SpanService that is being specified as a Linked Service for the current Service.
addLink() returns a pointer to "this" so may be chained
homeSpan.enableOTA() is now homeSpan.enableOTA(boolean auth=true). Set auth=false to disable password authentication. Set to true, or leave blank, to enable password authentication.
homeSpan.begin() automatically resizes maxConnections to ensure it is at or below maxLimit, where maxLimit=CONFIG_LWIP_MAX_SOCKETS-2-otaEnabled.
maxConnections still defaults to 8 if unspecified, which means it is reduced to 7 if OTA is enabled. Users should set maxConnections to a lower number is they have implemented other socket-based services in their sketch
HomeSpan will call a user-defined function upon establishing WiFi connectivity.
Set function with homeSpan.setWifiCallback(f), where f must be of form void f().
Specify with homeSpan.setSketchVersion(char *).
Read back with homeSpan.getSketchVersion().
Also, MDNS now broadcasts three new fields:
hspn = HomeSpan Version
sketch = Sketch Version
ota = "yes" if OTA enabled, else "no"
These are all optional to HAP but useful if trying to keep track of version updates when using OTA and Serial Monitor is not available.
OTA pasword now stored in NVS. Use 'O' command to change from default. Note password is stored as MD5 hash, and is therefore unrecoverable. Changes to password DO NOT take effect until next reboot. Password CAN be changed even if OTA has not been enabled for sketch. Blank passwords are not allowed.
Stored password can only be erased with 'E' command.
A 16-byte SALT with a leading zero would be sent as only a 15-byte number. The chance of this occuring is 1 in 256, which is small but still significant. Solution is to specify required size of MPI output in loadTLV. This forces mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() to pad with leading zeros.
Also eliminated unused code (TLV pack_old).
Setup ID can now be stored in NVS and set dynamically with the 'Q' command. However, homeSpan.setQRID(char *id) will override if present, but will not change the default stored in the NVS. This default wil be used once again if homeSpan.setQRID() is removed from the sektch.
If the NVS is empty, the default is set to "HSPN" as in version 1.1.4.
Class used for the creation and storage of a pairing QR Code (just the text, not the actual graphic) from a HAP Setup Code, HAP Category, and HAP Setup ID. The resulting QR Code text is output to Serial Monitor whenever the SetUp Code is generated or changed. The user can type this text into any QR Generator to create a QR Code graphic for pairing the device to HomeKit (in lieu of creating a printed tag of the Setup Code formatted using the Scancardium font).
Though not needed for HomeSpan, this class implements all the settings and parameters (such as Version and Reserved) used to generate any Apple HomeKit QR Code.
This class is used internally by HomeSpan and is not intended for the end-user.
HomeSpan now broadcasts a Hashed Setup ID as MDNS "sh", which is used when pairing with a QR Code instead of a Setup Code. A text version of the resulting QR code is output to the Serial Monitor whenever the 9-digit Setup Code is generated or changed. The text version of the QR code can then be input into any QR Code Generator to create a pairable QR Code.
The default Setup ID used to create the Hashed Setup ID is "HSPN". This can be changed with homeSpan.setQRCode(const char *id), where id is exactly 4 alphanumeric characters. If not, the request to change the Setup ID is silently ignored and remains "HSPN."
This allows the Serial Monitor to send NL or CR/NL at end of each line. A newline ('\n') must be at the end to terminate reading from the Serial Monitor, but any preceeding carriage returns are stripped out.
HomeSpan defaults to running the HAP Server on port 80 (the standard HTTP port). This method allows the user to over-ride the default and have HomeSpan run the HAP Server on any other port.
ALSO: In updating this portion of the code, identified an additional parameter to the ESP32 version of WiFiServer that allows one to specify the number of simultaneous Server connections. The ESP32 default is 4, which suggests that the ESP32 was internally juggling connections that HomeSpan was keeping open (since the HomeSpan default is 8 connections).
This WiFiServer call has been updated to now specify both the port number AND the number of maximum simultaneous connections (to match whatever has been set by HomeSpan). This may or may not result in improving performance when more than 4 clients are connected.
LED_BUILTIN is NOT defined for all ESP32 boards - some do not have a built-in LED! Instead, Status LED now defaults to Pin 13, as opposed to LED_BUILTIN. Also, added a new method, homeSpan.getStatusPin(), to return the pin number used for the Status LED, whether or not it remains the default (13) or is changed by user with homeSpan.setStatusPin(pin). This method is now used in the DEV_Identify.h file for each example, instead of using LED_BUILTIN (which otherwise won't compile for boards without a built-in LED)
Matches new logic in HomeSpan CLI, except that wait time cycles from 2 to 10 seconds in steps of 2 seconds, then repeats, since user is expected to be manually monitoring the process, and the Access Point auto times-out in 300 seconds anyway.
WiFi connection now occurs asynchronously so that if WiFi is lost, or cannot be connected at start-up, the device still operates intead of blocking while it tries to connect. The new logic should allow for a wider range of chips to connect.
Program now halts if more than 41 Accessories are defined. This allows for a bridge to have 40 Accessories. HAP limit is 150, but there is not enough memory in ESP32 to robustly handle more (testing up to 50 LightBulb Services worked, but was sluggish).
Switched from using fixed buffer, httpBuf, to a TempBuffer to allow for dynamic allocation of memory when assembling and transmitting large blocks of data. This was causing a memory overflow of the static httpBuf when responding to a getAccessories() request for a large number of Accessories.
1) Used `const char *` instead of `char *` where appropriate, including the need to create a dummy blank string for us in certain places.
2) Set initialization of WiFiClient to 0 instead of NULL, since WiFiClient is not a pointer (probably don't need to set it to anything since WiFiClient overrides the boolean operator anyway).
3) Cleaned up some of the messaging and logic when WiFi tries to connect so that users know to wait a bit.
4) Only remaining warning messages are for casting SpanService to (void *), which I think i unavailable (and is not forbidden).
To Do: Go through examples and check for warnings (will likely need to convert `char *` to `const char *` in many places.
User can specifiy a REQUIRED minimum version on the HomeSpan Library for the sketch to compile. If the library version is older, the pre-processor will halt the compilation with a #error output
RFControl::phase() allows you to add either a HIGH or LOW entry (i.e. a single phase of a pulse. RFControl::add() continues to add a full HIGH/LOW pulse so these changes are fully backwards compatible.
