 # ESP32-mqtt-room
 An ESP32 based presence detection node for use with the Home Assistant mqtt_room component for localized device presence detection.
 
-This depends heavily on the hard work done by [pcbreflux](https://github.com/pcbreflux) and [nkolban](https://github.com/nkolban) both on GitHub and on their YouTube Channels.
+This depends heavily on the hard work done by [pcbreflux](https://github.com/pcbreflux) and [nkolban](https://github.com/nkolban) both on GitHub and on their YouTube Channels. Specifically, it is a modified version of pcbreflux's [ESP32_BLE_beaconscan](https://github.com/pcbreflux/espressif/tree/master/esp32/arduino/sketchbook/ESP32_BLE_beaconscan).
+
+## Getting Started
+1. You can get started by cloning this repository to your local machine using git. Alternatively, you can [download the zip](https://github.com/jptrsn/ESP32-mqtt-room/archive/master.zip).
+2. Make a copy of the `Settings.h` file, and rename it `Settings_local.h`. Fill in the required information in your local settings file (the local file is ignored by GitHub, so you won't upload your sensitive information).
+3. Set the board variant to ESP32 in the Arduino IDE.

 ## Configuration
 Settings are defined in `Settings_local.h` which is not included in the repo by default. You can make a copy of `Settings.h` and rename it `Settings_local.h` in the same folder.
