 ## Dependencies
-TODO: Install ESP8266 Arduino Board Support as usual.
+This repository also provides a Makefile, but it does not work currently.
+So the only option to compile and upload is via the Arduino IDE:
+- Install ESP8266 Arduino Board Support from Boards Manager
+- Select you board and upload port
+- Compile and upload. (push the reset button just before the upload starts to wake the chip from deep sleep.)
+
+
 
 ## Settings
-TODO
+All configuration is currently done with preprocessor constants in the code itself.
+
+- `NODENAME`:     User friendly name of the node (used for the influxDB measurements)
+- `BOARD`:        Board type (see line 17 ff.) for the right battery settings
+- `DB_HOSTNAME`:  Host/ domain name of your influxDB (port is fixed to 8086)
+- `DB_PASSWD`:    HTTP BasicAuth string used to sign in
+
+
+
+## Battery Lifespan
+- ESP12: About 6 months
