 ### Added
-- Groups (Beta) - Items sharing the same group name will be collected together in the Home app UI
+- Groups (Beta) - Items sharing the same group name can be grouped together in a single accessory in the Home.app UI ([#46](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/46))
     - ⚠️ Adding/removing/changing the group name for an accessory will require you to reconfigure any HomeKit scenes or automations
-- Auto-Trigger feature to invoke accessory at a specified interval or times
+- "Schedule" feature to invoke accessory at a specified interval or times via cron ([#136](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/136))
+- Added "Activate Sensor on Auto-Reset" option ([#142](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/142))
+    - Instead of mirroring accessory, sensor will be activated only when accessory auto-resets
+- Millisecond unit option ([#149](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/149))
+- Rudimentary support for Thermostats ([#145](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/145))
+    - Manual control only, no scheduling or auto-reset functionality
+- Allow `sensor` to be attached to all accessory types (excluding Thermostat)
 
 ### Changed
-- Reorganized plugin config UI and renamed "Timer" to "Auto-Reset"
+- Reorganized plugin config UI and renamed "Timer" to "Auto-Reset Timer"
+- `sensor` is now an object rather than a primitive string (backwards compatible)
+- Updated dependencies
 
 ### Fixed
-- Timers over 1 hour were logging incorrectly ([#143](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/143))
+- Timer logging issues ([#143](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/143), [#148](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/148))
+- Better support for custom configuration with multiple plugin instances and child bridges ([#152](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/152))
+- Broken header image in config UI

 ## About
 
-With this plugin, you can create any number of fake accessories that will do nothing when triggered. This can be very useful for advanced automation with HomeKit scenes.
+With this plugin, you can create any number of fake accessories which are useful for advanced automation with HomeKit scenes. Features include scheduling to trigger at a specific interval or times, resetting automatically after a delay, activating sensors such as motion or occupancy, running arbitrary commands such as cron, and more.
 
-Currently, only Lightbulbs, Locks, Outlets, and Switches are supported. If there is a particular device you'd like to see supported, please [create an issue](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/new?template=new-issue.md).
+Currently, Doors, Lightbulbs, Locks, Outlets, Switches, Thermostats, Windows, and Blinds are supported. If there is a particular device or feature you'd like to see, please [create an issue](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/new?template=new-issue.md).
