# HomeSpan Library Reference
|
|
|
|
The HomeSpan Library is invoked by including *HomeSpan.h* in your Arduino sketch as follows:
|
|
|
|
```C++
|
|
#include "HomeSpan.h";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At runtime this HomeSpan will create a global object named `homeSpan` that supports the following methods:
|
|
|
|
* `void begin(Category catID, char *displayName, char *hostNameBase, char *modelName);`
|
|
* begin() initializes homeSpan and **must** be called at the beginning of each sketch before any other HomeSpan functions.
|
|
* all arguments are **optional**
|
|
* *catID* - the HAP Category HomeSpan broadcasts for pairing to HomeKit. Default is [Category::Lighting](Categories.md)
|
|
* *displayName* - the MDNS display name broadcast by HomeSpan. Default is "HomeSpan Server"
|
|
* *hostNameBase* - the full MDNS host name is broadcast by HomeSpan as *hostNameBase-DeviceID*.local, where DeviceID is a unique 6-byte code generated automatically by HomeSpan. Default is "HomeSpan"
|
|
* modelName - the HAP model name HomeSpan broadcasts for pairing to HomeKit. Default is "HomeSpan-ESP32"
