I was able to setup this thermostat without any issues. It allows me to set the heating and cooling temperature, as well as the mode (Auto, Heat, Cool, Off), and the Fan (Auto Low, On Low). Also, modifying the settings at the thermostat does in fact update the Almond+.
I can't wait until we can setup scenes, as I trigger the fan to circulate the air in the house when the temperature reaches a specific difference between the basement and second floor.
