 ## 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

 ## 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 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
+
 
 ## 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.
+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 UniFi OS devices in a production
-environment.

    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.
+
+

-The class currently supports the following functions/methods to GET/POST/PUT/DELETE data through the UniFi Controller
-API. Please refer to the comments in the source code for more details on the functions/methods and their respective
-parameters.

+## Looking for version 1.x.x?
+
+With versions 1.x.x of the API client, the code was contained within a single file which can be useful in specific
+cases.
+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).
