 Ubiquiti mFi Controller
 =======================
+This repo contains a python implementation of a parser for the Ubiquiti Inform
+Protocol. This protocol is used by Ubiquiti Unifi access points to communicate
+with the controller for ongoing metrics collection and configuration. It's also
+used in the Ubiquiti mFi products for command and control of light switches,
+power outlets, mPorts and power strips.
 
-This repo contains an alternative web controller for the Ubiquiti mFi mPower
-strips. Who knows what could happen here. My initial goal is to provide a
-simple mobile site to control the switches.

-Installation
-============
-Run ``pip install -r requirements.txt`` from within a virtualenv then start
-with ``python server.py``
+The goal of this library is to build a fully functional replacement for the
+abandoned Ubiquiti controller. A fully functional python library for inform
+parsing and serialization exists in the python directory along with a sample
+server that just sends NOOP packets to devices checking in. The python work is
+considered finished and will be split into a new repo at some point. All
+further work will go into a Go (golang) API on which the controller will be
+built.
