      HMService is a typed cluster of characteristics on an HMAccessory. The service type ('lightbulb', 'thermostat', 'temperatureSensor', ...) tells you what role the cluster plays.

      class HMService {
  readonly uuid: string
  readonly name: string
  readonly serviceType: HMServiceType
  readonly accessoryUUID: string
  readonly isPrimaryService: boolean
  readonly isUserInteractive: boolean
  readonly characteristics: HMCharacteristic[]
  readonly linkedServices: HMService[] | null
  readonly associatedServiceType: HMServiceType | null

  rename(name: string): Promise<void>
  updateAssociatedServiceType(type: HMServiceType | null): Promise<void>
}

      Service types form an open string union — HMServiceType includes the well-known values plus (string & {}) so newer HomeKit versions still surface unknown types as raw strings.
