 = Introduction =
 
+The [https://apps.mios.com/plugin.php?id=1618|Radio Thermostat Wifi plug-in] enables integration of Radio Thermostat Wifi products with Vera. The plugin is designed to co-exist with existing thermostat controls, including Radio Thermostat's cloud, and manual control from the physical thermostat interface.
+
+= Requirements =
+
+* A Vera device with UI5
+* A compatible Radio Thermostat Wifi thermostat. This plug-in was developed and tested with the [http://www.radiothermostat.com/filtrete/products/3M-50 | 3M-50], but should work with other Radio Thermostat wifi thermostats.
+* 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. (the newest is 1.04.73)
+* An SSH client to connect to your Vera (to workaround a bug in UI5). ** If you don't know how to SSH to your Vera, stop here. **
 
 = Installation =
 
+This is (currently) a UI5 only plugin, so the easiest way to install the plug-in is via the [http://docs5.mios.com/doc.php?page=mymios_web_portal|Vera Web Portal]:
 
-= Configuration
+1. In your Vera Web Portal, navigate to "Apps" -> "Install Apps", and then search for "Thermostat" to find the "Radio Thermostat Wifi plugin"
 
+2. Click on "Install" to install the plugin.
+
+3. Vera will display the message "Please wait while the plugin is downloaded". 
+
+**Note: the following two steps are a workaround for a bug in UI5:**
+
+4. Wait for the message "Radio Thermostat Wifi Thermostat: Lua Engine Failed to start" in the portal status display (at the top of the page).
+
+5. You must now SSH into your Vera and execute the following command:
+
+{{{
+pluto-lzo d /etc/cmh-ludl/L_RTCOA_Wifi_dkjson.lua.lzo /etc/cmh-ludl/L_RTCOA_Wifi_dkjson.lua
+}}}
+
+6. Click "close" on the "Please wait..." dialog in the Vera portal.
+
+7. On the Advanced Tab of the device configuration dialog, enter the IP Address of your thermostat in the "IP" field.
+
+8. Close the configuration dialog, and click "Save" to save your configuration.
+
+9. In a minute or two, your thermostat device will appear in your device list.
