Elgato from the shell

Once the lamp joined my local WLAN network (and I know the IP address), I use this script for controlling it.
Requirements
You must have cURL and jq installed. (sudo apt-get install jq curl)
The script sets a local ELGATO_KEY_LIGHT_IPADDRESS variable. Tweak that part to your needs.
Manual
e turns it on or off
Brightness
e + increases the brightness
e - decreases the brightness
Color tempreature
e 1 selects the coldest color temperature
e 2 selects a medium color temperature
e 3 selects the warmest color temperature
Identify the light
e i makes the light blink three times
