 The Ferroamp binding is compatible with EnergyHub Wall and EnergyHub XL, and connects to your local EnergyHub via LAN.
 Data and commands are received/sent using MQTT where the user connects to the MQTT broker residing on the EnergyHub.
+The communication with the broker might take some minute to establish, so Please just be patient. The Thing will be
+in state INITIALIZATION during this time and ONLINE once connection is established.
 
 *note* Contact Ferroamp support to enable MQTT in the EnergyHub and to get the Username and Password:
