 // 1) Requires "MCCI LoRaWAN LMIC library", which will be automatically used with PlatformIO but should be added in "Arduino IDE".
-// 2) If you really want, region and transceiver type can be specified in lorawan.cpp
+// 2) If you need to, region and transceiver type can be specified in lorawan.cpp. Default is "Europe 868"
 // 3) It has been tested with "TTGO ESP32 SX1276 LoRa 868" and will only work with an ESP32 + LoRa modem
 // 4) In order to use LoRaWAN, a gateway should be close to the co2ampel, and an account, an application and a device should be registered,
 //      e.g. on https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/applications/
