 See [Running](#Running) for details.
 
+## Updating values
+
+The state of the boolean `state->open` property can be modified via `/state/open`:
+
+```shell
+curl -X PUT -u user:password -d true http://[::1]:8080/state/open
+```
+
+The same is true for the endpoints for sensors configured under `"dynamic"`.
+Currently only the sensors with the `value/unit/location/name/description` schema are implemented.
+At the time of writing this includes `temperature`, `barometer`, `humidity`, `beverage_supply`, `power_consumption`,
+and `account_balance`.
+Out-of-spec sensors may also be used as long as they share the same schema.
+
+```shell
+curl -X PUT -u user:password -d 23.42 http://[::1]:8080/sensors/{temperature,humidity,...}[/location[/name]]
+```
+
+As can be seen in the example, the http urls are generated from sensor type and optionally `location` and `name`.
+Depending on sensor type `location` might be required for your sensors, see the schema for details.

 ## Building
 
 See the `go.mod` file for minimum required Go version.
 There are currently no dependencies apart from the Go standard library.
 
-``` shell
-go build -ldflags '-X main.version=v420.69-rc23' .
-```
-
 ## Running
 
 Set the environment variable to a comma-separated list of config files or pass the `-c` flag.
 
 ```shell
-env SPACEAPID_CONFIG_PATH=config-template.json go run .
+env CONFIG_PATH=config-template.json go run .
 # OR
 go run . -c config-credentials.json,config-dynamic.json,config-response.json
 ```
-
-## Updating values
-
-The state of the boolean `state->open` and `state->message` property can be modified via `/state/{open,message}`:
-
-```shell
-curl -X PUT -u user:password -d true http://localhost:8080/state/open
-curl -X PUT -u user:password -d "Nur mit Passierschein A38 :3" http://localhost:8080/state/message
-```
-
-As `state->message` is optional, its value can be deleted by using the `PUT` method with an empty payload, or by using `DELETE`:
-
-```shell
-curl -X PUT -u user:password -d "" http://localhost:8080/state/message
-# OR
-curl -X DELETE -u user:password http://localhost:8080/state/message
-```
-
-The same updating procedure applies for the endpoints for sensors configured under `"dynamic"`.
-Currently only the sensors with the `value/unit/location/name/description` schema are implemented.
-At the time of writing this includes `temperature`, `barometer`, `humidity`, `beverage_supply`, `power_consumption`, and `account_balance`.
-Out-of-spec sensors may be used as well, as long as they share the same schema.
