 The pre-requisities for connecting with Node.js is:
 - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) installed on your machine (this is tested and confirmed to work with v20.2.0),
 - [arduino-iot-js](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-iot-js) installed,
-- a Thing created in the Arduino IoT Cloud.
+- a Thing created in the Arduino IoT Cloud,
+- a manual device created in the Arduino IoT Cloud, associated to your Thing.

+Connection to the cloud via Node.js/Javascript requires you to first install the [arduino-iot-js](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-iot-js) package. You will also need to configure a manual device in the cloud, which will generate the **Device ID** and **Secret Key** needed to connect. 
 
 ```sh
 npm install arduino-iot-js
 ```
 
-After installation, you can use the example below to connect and send variable updates to the cloud. Replace the following variables with your credentials:
-
-- `THING_ID` - obtained from your Thing,
-- `NAME_OF_VARIABLE` - name of your variable, obtained from your Thing,
-- `CLIENT_ID` - obtained from [API key section](https://cloud.arduino.cc/home/api-keys),
-- `CLIENT_SECRET` - only obtainable during creation of your API key. 
-
+After installation, you can use the example below to connect and send variable updates to the cloud.
 
 ### JavaScript Example
 
-This example connects to the cloud (MQTT broker), and sends a variable update with `sendProperty()`. The parameters of `sendProperty()` are `thingId`, `variableName` and `value`.  
+This example connects to the cloud (MQTT broker), and sends a variable update with `sendProperty()`, and then listens for updates using the `onPropertyValue()` method.
 
-***Please note: the variable name you enter in the script needs to match the variable name in the cloud.*** 
+***Please note: `cloudVar` needs to contain the variable name you create in the Arduino IoT Cloud. In this case, we are calling it `test_variable`*** 
 
 ```js
