Examples

Flash a device's status LED for 5 seconds to find it in a rack or cabinet:

bb-eco locate 192.168.0.89 --duration 5
Locate flash started on 192.168.0.89 — the device's status LED is flashing. Waiting 5s...
5s remaining... 4s remaining... 3s remaining... 2s remaining... 1s remaining...
Locate flash stopped.

The default duration is 30 seconds; press Ctrl+C to stop early (the flash is always turned off on exit). Devices can also be located by MAC address or device name instead of IP.
