//////////////////////////////////// // DEVICE-SPECIFIC LED SERVICES // //////////////////////////////////// // NOTE: This example is constructed only for the purpose of demonstrating how to // emulate a pushbutton in HomeSpan. The length of the blinking routine is MUCH longer // than HomeSpan should spend on an update(). To see how this effects HomeKit, try changing // the number of blinks to 50, or keep it at 3 and increase the delay times in update() so // that the blink routine takes 10 seconds or more. When activated, HomeKit will think the // device has become non-responsive if it does not receive a return message from update() within // a certain period of time. // In practice, pushbuton emulation is used for very short routines, such as driving // an IR LED or an RF transmitter to send a code to a remote device. // New and changed lines in comparison with Example 9 are noted as "NEW!" struct DEV_Blinker : Service::LightBulb { // LED Blinker int ledPin; // pin number defined for this LED int nBlinks; // NEW! number of times to blink SpanCharacteristic *power; // reference to the On Characteristic DEV_Blinker(int ledPin, int nBlinks) : Service::LightBulb(){ // constructor() method power=new Characteristic::On(); this->ledPin=ledPin; this->nBlinks=nBlinks; // NEW! number of blinks pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); Serial.print("Configuring LED Blinker: Pin="); // initialization message Serial.print(ledPin); Serial.print(" Blinks="); // NEW! add output message for number of blinks Serial.print(nBlinks); Serial.print("\n"); } // end constructor boolean update(){ // update() method // NEW! Instead of turning on or off the LED according to newValue, we blink it for // the number of times specified, and leave it in the off position when finished. // This line is deleted... // digitalWrite(ledPin,power->getNewVal()); // and is replaced by... if(power->getNewVal()){ // check to ensure HomeKit is requesting we "turn on" this device (else ignore) LOG1("Activating the LED Blinker on pin="); LOG1(ledPin); LOG1("\n"); for(int i=0;igetVal() && power->timeVal()>3000){ // check that power is true, and that time since last modification is greater than 3 seconds LOG1("Resetting Blinking LED Control\n"); // log message power->setVal(false); // set power to false } } // loop }; ////////////////////////////////// // HomeKit Bug Note: There is an apparent bug in HomeKit uncovered during the development of this example. // If you have an Accessory with three or more Services, and the Accessory receives a notification message // from the device, AND the HomeKit interface is open to show the detailed control for this Service tile // in the HomeKit app, then for some reason HomeKit sends an update() request back to the device asking to // set the Characteristic to the value that it just received from an Event Notification. HomeKit is not supposed // to send update requests in response to an Event Notification.
