API client class v1.1.94

- minor fix based on Scrutinizer feedback
- re-added `update_admin()` method to the class; for some reason, the merge of #228 was not successful

 ## UniFi Controller API client class
 
-A PHP class that provides access to Ubiquiti's [**UniFi Network Controller**](https://unifi-network.ui.com/) API,
-versions 4.X.X, 5.X.X and 6.X.X of the UniFi Network Controller software are supported (version 6.3.51 has been
-confirmed to work) as well as UniFi OS-based controllers (version 5.12.59 has been confirmed to work). This class is
-used by our API browser tool which can be found [here](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-browser).

 ## Requirements
 
-- a server with PHP, version 5.5.0 or higher, and the PHP cURL module installed (tested on Apache 2.4 with PHP Version
-  5.6.1 and cURL 7.42.1 and with PHP 7.2.24 and cURL 7.58.0)
-- direct network connectivity between this server and the host and port (normally TCP port 8443) where the UniFi
-  Controller is running
-- you must use **local accounts**, not UniFi Cloud accounts, to access the UniFi Controller API through this class
+- a server with:
+  - PHP **7.4.0** or higher (use version [1.1.83](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-client/releases/tag/v1.1.83) for PHP 7.3.x and lower)
+  - PHP json and PHP cURL modules
+  - tested on Apache 2.4 with PHP 7.4.27 and cURL 7.60.0 and with PHP 8.2.12 and cURL 7.81.0
+- direct network connectivity between this server and the host and port (usually TCP port 8443 or port 443 for 
+  UniFi OS) where the UniFi Controller is running
+- you **must** use **accounts with local access permissions** to access the UniFi Controller API through this class
+- do not use UniFi Cloud accounts and do not enable 2FA for the accounts that you use with this class
+
 
 ## UniFi OS Support
 
-Support for UniFi OS-based controllers (UniFi Dream Machine Pro or Cloud Key Gen2/Cloud Key Gen2 Plus with firmware
-version 2.0.24 or higher) has been added as of version 1.1.47. The class automatically detects UniFi OS devices and
-adjusts URLs and several functions/methods accordingly. If your own code applies strict validation of the URL that is
-passed to the constructor, please adapt your logic to allow URLs without a port suffix when dealing with a UniFi
-OS-based controller.
+Support for UniFi OS-based controllers has been added as of version 1.1.47. These devices have been verified to work:
+- UniFi Dream Router (UDR)
+- UniFi Dream Machine (UDM)
+- UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM PRO)
+- UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 (UCK G2), firmware version 2.0.24 or higher
+- UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus (UCK G2 Plus), firmware version 2.0.24 or higher
+- UniFi Cloud Console, details [here](https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415364143511)
+- UniFi Express (UX)
+
+The class automatically detects UniFi OS consoles and adjusts the URLs and several functions/methods accordingly.
+
+UniFi OS consoles require you to connect using port **443** instead of **8443** which is used for "software-based"
+controllers. If your own code implements strict validation of the URL that is passed to the constructor, please adapt
+your logic to allow URLs without a port suffix or with port 443 when working with a UniFi OS-based controller.
+
+
+### Remote API access to UniFi OS-based controllers
+When connecting to a UniFi OS gateway through the WAN interface, you need to create a specific firewall rule to
+allow this. See this blog post on the Art of WiFi website for more details:
+https://artofwifi.net/blog/how-to-access-the-unifi-controller-by-wan-ip-or-hostname-on-a-udm-pro
+
+The "custom firewall rule" approach described there is the recommended method.
+
+
+## Upgrading from a previous version
+
+When upgrading from a version before **1.1.84**, please:
+- make sure you are using PHP **7.4** or higher
+- test the client with your code for any breaking changes; the class methods now have strict parameter type hints and 
+  response types which can break your code in certain cases where the wrong type is passed or a different response type
+  is expected back
 
-Please test all methods you plan on using thoroughly before using the API Client with UniFi OS devices in a production
-environment.
