 * Your thermostat must already be provisioned and connected to your LAN. (I suggest going through the normal provisioning process to connect your thermostat to the Radio Thermostat cloud - this will also make sure you have the latest firmware)
 * You need to know the IP address of your thermostat. I suggest either assigning a static IP to the thermostat, or creating a static / permanent DHCP allocation for the thermostat in your router.
-* The thermostat firmware must be version 1.04.64 or newer. To check, browse to http://IPAddressOfYourThermostat/ and look for "Firmware Version" at the bottom of the page. (As of 3/1/12, they are rolling out 1.04.77)
+* The thermostat firmware must be version 1.04.64 or newer. '''Note: to be able to use the full feature set of the plugin, firmware version 1.04.82 or newer is required.'''

 * Changing the temperature set point for heating will place the thermostat in heating mode, regardless of it's current mode. (i.e. the thermostat will switch from cooling to heating mode). The reverse is also true: setting the cooling set point will place the thermostat in cooling mode.

-This is a list of things that should be possible to implement in the future. If you're interested in any of these, let me know:
+These are the features that are planned for the next release:
+* "Thermostat LED Control" (i.e. turn on/off colored LED's on thermostat from Vera).
+* "Program Based Hold" - If this optional feature is activated, the plugin reprograms (i.e. overwrites) the thermostat's built-in schedule with a schedule to maintains the current set point indefinitely. Every time the current setpoint is changed either from Vera or the thermostat, the plugin will reprogram a "hold schedule" into the thermostat to hold that temperature. The idea behind this it to prevent the "battle of the schedules" that occurs if Vera is controlling the schedule of the thermostat, but the thermostat is accidentally removed from "hold mode" (which normally disables the built in schedule).
+* "Clock Sync" - Synchronizes your thermostat clock with Vera
 
-* Display current status information (fan running, actively cooling, etc.), not just settings, in the Vera UI
-* View and set thermostat's built-in schedule from Vera UI
-* Provide more detailed status information for multi-stage systems. For example, instead of just "heating", provide a status that differentiates between which stage is active (heat-pump vs aux/electric). This would be useful for detailed energy tracking.

+* "Firmware update notification" - Provide notification when a new firmware update is available
+* "Apply firmware update" - Trigger thermostat firmware update from within Vera
