Thus, every Accessory (including the Bridge // Accessory if used), has its own instant of the Identify Characteristic. // Though not typically used during normal operation of an Accessory, the Identify Characteristic // can be useful when first pairing your device to HomeKit. You may have noticed when pairing your // device using the Home App that there is the word "Identify" at the bottom of each of the screens // that ask you what you want to name each Accessory, what room the Accessory should be assigned to, etc. // Clicking "Identify" on any of those screens causes HomeKit to send an update request to the // Identify Characteristic associated with the corresponding Accessory. As with any Characteristic that // is updated via the Home App, this will trigger a call to the update() method for the enclosing Service. // The purpose of this is so that your device can run some sort of "identification routine" when requested, // allowing you to visually confirm that you are indeed pairing the correct device. For example, if you // have three separate devices wired to three different lights or appliances, you want to make sure that when // you start pairing each of them to the Home App you are connected to the device you intend. // The identification routine can be anything you choose. The only HAP requirement is that it should not take // longer than 5 seconds to run. In the sketch below we have created an identification routine that logs a // message to the Serial Monitor and blinks the LED associated with the Accessory 3 times whenever its // Identify Characteristic is updated. #include "HomeSpan.h" ////////////////////////////////////// // Below is the same DEV_LED Lightbulb Service we've used in many of the previous examples struct DEV_LED : Service::LightBulb { int ledPin; SpanCharacteristic *power; DEV_LED(int ledPin) : Service::LightBulb(){ power=new Characteristic::On(); this->ledPin=ledPin; pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); } boolean update(){ digitalWrite(ledPin,power->getNewVal()); LOG0("LED %d: Power %s\n",ledPin,power->getNewVal()?"ON":"OFF"); return(true); } }; ////////////////////////////////////// // NEW: Here we derive a new class, DEV_INFO, from the Accessory Information Service // This structure takes a single argument (ledPin), creates a name from it, and assigns // it to the Name Characteristic. // It also instantiates the required Identify Characteristic, and implements an update() method // that logs a message to the Serial Monitor and blinks the associated LED three times. // Note that in the update() method we do not bother to check which Characteristic has been updated. // This is because the only possibility is the Identify Characteristic. // Also, we do not need to use getNewVal() to check the value. The Home App always sends a value of 1, // since it is just trying to trigger the identification routine (the value itself is meaningless). struct DEV_INFO : Service::AccessoryInformation { int ledPin; DEV_INFO(int ledPin) : Service::AccessoryInformation(){ new Characteristic::Identify(); char c[64]; sprintf(c,"LED-%d",ledPin); new Characteristic::Name(c); this->ledPin=ledPin; pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); } boolean update(){ LOG0("Running Identification for LED %d\n",ledPin); for(int i=0;i<3;i++){ digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW); delay(500); } return(true); } }; ////////////////////////////////////// void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); homeSpan.setLogLevel(1); homeSpan.begin(Category::Lighting,"HomeSpan LEDS"); new SpanAccessory(); new DEV_INFO(13); // Here we instantiate the new DEV_INFO structure, instead of simply instantiating Characteristic::Name() and Characteristic::Identity() as in all previous examples new SpanAccessory(); new DEV_INFO(16); // Note we instantiate a new DEV_INFO structure for each Accessory in this device new DEV_LED(16); // Here we instantiate the usual DEV_LED structure that controls the LED during normal operation new SpanAccessory(); // Here we add a second LED new DEV_INFO(17); new DEV_LED(17); } ////////////////////////////////////// void loop(){ homeSpan.poll(); } ////////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: Once a device has been paired, it is no longer possible to trigger the Identify Characteristic from the Home App. // Apple assumes that the identification routine is no longer needed since you can always identify the device by simply operating it. // However, the Eve for HomeKit app DOES provide an "ID" button in the interface for each Accessory that can be used to trigger // the identification routine for that Accessory at any time after the device has been paired.
