+# Initial
+If the config file is missing, or invalid the Emergency Rescue mode is started
+In this case multiple Fault LEDS will be flashing and the esp will open an AccessPoint.
+Connect to the AccessPoint and browse to http://192.168.71.1 to set it up
+
+# During normal operation
+1. Press the boot button untill the ESP shows that it is active. 
+2. The General fault LED will flash, keep pressing the button untill it stops
+3. The ESP will now try to connect to a WIFI station if configured and start the webserver, if the connection to the station cannot be made, it will open an AccessPoint instead.
+
+# MQTT
+It is possible to use the topic /stay/alive to enter the config mode.
+
+If this topic contains a retained message with the value true, the ESP will enter ConfigMode during it's next cycle and stay there.
+
+Note: You must set /stay/alive to retained false again after this, otherwise it will always enter configmode, even if you exist it via the webui.
+
+# USB reboot
+By connecting to the USB Terminal via a Serial Monitor, the ESP is reset and will enter configmode as if the button for normal operation was pressed
+
+# Reboot
+When pressing reboot in configmode website, the esp will restart into the configmode newly saved settings. To exit configmode the exit button must be used.
