 ## 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)
+- a server with:
-- direct network connectivity between this server and the host and port (normally TCP port 8443) where the UniFi Controller is running
+  - 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) 
-- you must use **local accounts**, not UniFi Cloud accounts, to access the UniFi Controller API through this class
+    for PHP 7.3.x and lower)
+  - PHP json and PHP cURL modules enabled
+- 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 an **account 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
 
 
-## UbiOS Support
+## UniFi OS Support
 
-Support for UbiOS-based controllers (UniFi Dream Machine Pro) has been added as of version 1.1.47. The class automatically detects UbiOS 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 UbiOS-based controller.
+Besides the "software-based" UniFi controllers, this class also supports UniFi OS-based controllers starting from
+version **1.1.47**.
+
+These devices/services 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 Express (UX)
+- UniFi Dream Wall (UDW)
+- UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra)
+- UniFi CloudKey Enterprise (CK-Enterprise)
+- UniFi Enterprise Fortress Gateway (EFG)
+- Official UniFi Hosting, details [here](https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415364143511)
+
+The class automatically detects UniFi OS consoles and adjusts the URLs and several functions/methods accordingly.
+
+UniFi OS-based controllers 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-based 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 previous versions
+
+When upgrading from a version before **2.0.0**, please:
+- change your code to use the new Exceptions that are thrown by the class
+- test the client with your code for any breaking changes
+- make sure you are using [Composer](#composer) to install the class because the code is no longer held within a single file
 
-Please test all methods you plan on using thoroughly before using the API Client with UbiOS devices in a production environment.

-1. In the above example, `$site_id` is the short site "name" (usually 8 characters long) that is visible in the URL when managing the site in the UniFi Network Controller. For example with this URL:
+1. In the above example, `$site_id` is the short site "name" (usually 8 characters long) that is visible in the URL when
+   managing the site in the UniFi Network Controller. For example, with this URL:
 
    `https://<controller IP address or FQDN>:8443/manage/site/jl3z2shm/dashboard`
 
    `jl3z2shm` is the short site "name" and the value to assign to $site_id.
 
-2. The last optional parameter that is passed to the constructor in the above example (`true`), enables validation of the controller's SSL certificate which is otherwise **disabled** by default. It is highly recommended to enable this feature in production environments where you have a valid SSL cert installed on the UniFi Controller that is associated with the FQDN in the `controller_url` parameter. This option was added with API client version 1.1.16.

+
+3. Using an administrator account (`$controller_user` in the above example) with **read-only** permissions can limit 
+   visibility on certain collection/object properties. See this
+   [issue](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-client/issues/129) and this 
+   [issue](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-browser/issues/94) for an example where the WPA2 password isn't
+   visible for **read-only** administrator accounts.
+
+
+## Exception handling
+
+The class now throws **Exceptions** for various error conditions instead of using PHP's `trigger_error()` function. This
+allows for more granular error handling in your application code.
+
+Here is an example of how to catch these Exceptions:
+```php
+<?php
+/**
+ * PHP API usage example with Exception handling
+ */
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\CurlExtensionNotLoadedException;
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\CurlGeneralErrorException;
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\CurlTimeoutException;
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\InvalidBaseUrlException;
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\InvalidSiteNameException;
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\JsonDecodeException;
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\LoginFailedException;
+use UniFi_API\Exceptions\LoginRequiredException;
+
+/**
+ * load the class using the composer autoloader
+ */
+require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
+
+/**
+ * include the config file (place your credentials etc. there if not already present)
+ */
+require_once 'config.php';
+
+/**
+ * initialize the UniFi API connection class, log in to the controller and request the alarms collection
+ * (this example assumes you have already assigned the correct values to the variables in config.php)
+ */
+try {
+    $unifi_connection = new UniFi_API\Client($controller_user, $controller_password, $controller_url, $site_id, $controller_version, true);
+    $login            = $unifi_connection->login();
+    $results          = $unifi_connection->list_alarms(); // returns a PHP array containing alarm objects
+} catch (CurlExtensionNotLoadedException $e) {
+    echo 'CurlExtensionNotLoadedException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (InvalidBaseUrlException $e) {
+    echo 'InvalidBaseUrlException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (InvalidSiteNameException $e) {
+    echo 'InvalidSiteNameException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (JsonDecodeException $e) {
+    echo 'JsonDecodeException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (LoginRequiredException $e) {
+    echo 'LoginRequiredException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (CurlGeneralErrorException $e) {
+    echo 'CurlGeneralErrorException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (CurlTimeoutException $e) {
+    echo 'CurlTimeoutException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (LoginFailedException $e) {
+    echo 'LoginFailedException: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+} catch (Exception $e) {
+    /** catch any other Exceptions that might be thrown */
+    echo 'General Exception: ' . $e->getMessage(). PHP_EOL;
+}
+```
+
+Although the PHP DocBlocks for most public methods/functions contain `@throws Exception`, it is recommended to catch
+other specific Exceptions that can be thrown by the API Client class to provide more detailed error messages to your
+application code.
+
+In most cases, the class will let Exceptions bubble up to the calling code, but in some cases it will catch them and
+throw a new Exception with a more specific message.
+
+The `list_alarms.php` example in the `examples/` directory is a good starting point to see how you can implement
+Exception handling.
+

+This has changed with version 2.0.0 where the code is now split into multiple files and is managed using composer.
+
+If you are looking for the version 1.x.x code, you can tell composer to install that version by using the following
+syntax in your `composer.json` file:
+
+```javascript
+{
+    "require": {
+        "art-of-wifi/unifi-api-client": "^1.1"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can download the latest 1.x.x code from the [releases page](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-client/releases).
