The 'A' command now resets any existing WiFi functionality so that it can start an Access Point without needing to first reboot.
To Do: Add a method to cancel out of apConfigure() and reboot by pressing control button.
To Do: Create time-out for commandMode()
Changing code so that it is possible to run HomeSpan without configuring WiFi. HomeSpan can already run without being paired, but requires WiFi at start-up. No reason to force WiFi to be used if device has buttons to operate the appliance withouth the need for WiFi or a connection to HomeKit. Work in progress...
Instead of pre-defining RF433 and RF315, the user should define their own RFControl{pin} as a variable in their device-specific DEV_*.h file. Makes RFControl more generic and not specific to any transmitter name (such as 433 or 315). Also means that the pin can be set by the user instead of having to modify RFControl.h deep in the library.
Zephyr3, the latest version, was moved into its own repo and renamed ZephyrVentHood.
Deleted Zephyr1, Zephyr2, and Zephyr3, which are no longer needed.
Flattened folder structure for Examples and placed them all in top-level directory
Started adding lists to the first few Services in Service.h. This is a longer-term project to enable HomeSpan to validate a configuration and check that all Services have all required Characteristics and that any optional Characteristics defined are indeed permitted.
Full initialization now depends on "isInitialized" flag instead of monitoring Wifi connection, to protect against a loss of WiFi causing a re-initialization, instead of just a wifi reconnect with initWifi() alone.
No need for any new methods - default is now that longPress repeats every longTime milliseconds provided button continues to be held down. Once a longPress is triggered, a shortPress will not be triggered until button is released.
SpanButton now instantiates PushButton instead of keeping track of its own triggering logic. This means that SpanButton longPress() is triggered by holding down the button for longTime WITHOUT the need to release. This is a desired change.
Next: Must update Example 15 to state that SpanButtons trigger a long press withouth needing to be released.
To do: Consider adding a "repeating mode" for longPress in which the SpanButton re-triggers every longTime while button continues to be pressed. Best way to implement is probably by creating a PushButton::extend() method.
Also moved StatusCode definitions from Settings.h to HAPConstants.h. There was no reason to have the user return a StatusCode of OK or UNABLE from update() since the only other choice was BUSY and HomeKit does not seem to distinguish errors. Either it's okay or not okay, which can more easily be represented by a simply return of TRUE or FALSE from update().
The user now needs to know nothing about StatusCodes. All Examples were modified to change StatusCode update() to boolean update() and return(StatusCode:OK) to return (true).
Much simpler.
Convention is that every *.cpp references, in this order:
1) Any required core librries
2) Its own *.h (i.e. Foo.cpp -> Foo.h)
3) All other *.h files needed by the cpp, UNLESS those *.h files are already in its own *.h file. Must include all *.h files that are not in its own *.h file even if it is others that are referenced.
This change allows the user to set the log-level with homeSpan.setLogLevel() instead of needing to change in Settings.h. Next up: Update Example that introduces VERBOSE to instead use setLogLevel(). Consider adding an interactive 'L' command to change this during run-time.
Also, added "#pragma once" to every *.h file to prevent duplication of definitions. TO DO: Review all #include to ensure sanity across all files.
These optional methods can be "chained" when instantiating a new SpanService to configure the Service as Primary or Hidden (or both). This alleviates the need to ServiceType to be propogated through the Service constructor.
Next Up: Eliminate ServiceType construct and update Examples to use setPrimary instead.
Created separate init() methods for PushButton and Blinker. Created HomeSpan:setControlPin and HomeSpan:setStatusPin that can be called from main setup() to modify the defaults. All default settings being migrated to Settings.h
Next Up: Add method to break out of WiFi connection loop by using push button in case WiFi SSID/PWD has changed but there is no desire to unpair controllers. To Do: Move blinking status light setting to named macros.
Setup Code now saved after serialConfig() or apConfig().
Next up: Create 'U' command to unpair controller. Change function of control button so it unpairs (short press) or resets WiFi (long press).
To do: Revisit statusLED blinking paterns to make sure they are clear and consistent - save them as macros in settings.h
