 ## Start application on Raspberry Pi
 - Make sure that Pi and your development machine are in the same WLAN.
-- You have to check whether the correct IP-address is set in the run-configuration
-  - via `Edit Configurations... -> Run on Pi -> Properties -> pi.ipnumber=pi4j.local`
-- `Run on Pi` starts the demo application remotely on the Raspberry Pi
+- You have to check whether the correct IP-address is set in `pom.xml`
+  - set properties `<pi.hostname>` and `pi.ipnumber`
+- `Run on Pi` compiles and packages the demo application on your developer machine, deploys it to Raspberry Pi and starts the demo application remotely on the Raspberry Pi
 
+## Restart application on Raspberry Pi
+- Once you have started the demo application on Raspberry Pi using `Run on Pi`, you can restart it without recompiling
+- `Rerun version on Pi` starts the demo application remotely on the Raspberry Pi without applying any changes
 
 ## Start application in debugger
-
 To start the application on the Raspberry Pi in debug mode the two run configurations `Debug on Pi` and `Attach to Pi Debugger` are required.
 
 The sequence of starting the run configurations is critical:
-1. Check whether the correct IP-address is set in the run-configurations (both, `Debug on Pi` and `Attach to Pi Debugger`)
-1. Start `Debug on Pi` using the **Run** button
-1. Wait till the console contains the following message: `Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005 (Attach debugger)`
+1. Check whether the correct IP-address (or hostname) is set in `pom.xml` and in run-configuration `Attach to Pi Debugger`
+1. Start `Debug on Pi` using the **Run** button 
+1. Wait till the console contains the following message:  
+`Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005 (Attach debugger)`
 1. Start `Attach to Pi Debugger` using the **Debug** button
 1. Only now the demo application is started

Subject: [PATCH 09/39] refactoring for testing Components can deliver a mock

 seems to be a better solution. The encapsulation of the components is better
 and there's no need for additional interfaces anymore.

 In IntelliJ IDEA ready-made run-configurations are available for running the demo application on the RaspPi.

+- Make sure that Pi and your development machine are in the same WLAN (see recommendations in [Pi4J OS](https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j-os))
 - Check whether the correct IP-address is set in `pom.xml`
   - set properties `<pi.hostname>` and `<pi.ipnumber>`
 - `Run on Pi` compiles and packages the demo application on your developer machine, deploys it to Raspberry Pi and starts the demo application remotely on the Raspberry Pi
