script that node-dash-button provides. Either run it from
their project
or you can run in the root of this project. OnceManufacturer: Amazon Technologies Inc.
the script is running, just press your Dash button and record the first
MAC address that shows up with
following it.
2. If you haven't yet, use the WeMo app on your phone to fully set up
and name your WeMo Switch or Plug.

command provided by ouimeaux
which will search for and list all the WeMo devices on your
network along with their exact names.
