In-Reply-To: <1471856694-14182-1-git-send-email-jaffe1@gmail.com>

The pulse8 dongle has some quirky behaviors when in autonomous mode.
Document these.

+ * Notes:
+ *
+ * - Devices with firmware version < 2 do not store their configuration in
+ *   EEPROM.
+ *
+ * - In autonomous mode, only messages from a TV will be acknowledged, even
+ *   polling messages. Upon receiving a message from a TV, the dongle will
+ *   respond to messages from any logical address.
+ *
+ * - In autonomous mode, the dongle will by default reply Feature Abort
+ *   [Unrecognized Opcode] when it receives Give Device Vendor ID. It will
+ *   however observe vendor ID's reported by other devices and possibly
+ *   alter this behavior. When TV's (and TV's only) report that their vendor ID
+ *   is LG (0x00e091), the dongle will itself reply that it has the same vendor
+ *   ID, and it will respond to at least one vendor specific command.
+ *
+ * - In autonomous mode, the dongle is known to attempt wakeup if it receives
+ *   <User Control Pressed> ["Power On"], ["Power] or ["Power Toggle"], or if it
+ *   receives <Set Stream Path> with its own physical address. It also does this
+ *   if it receives <Vendor Specific Command> [0x03 0x00] from an LG TV.
