    CuteResult
};
use std::time::Duration;
use std::thread::sleep;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> CuteResult<()> {
    let lights = discover_lights().await?;

    let frame = Frame::new();

    loop {
        for light in &lights {
            frame.set_on(&light, true);
            frame.set_brightness(&light, 100);
            frame.set_color(&light, 0, 255, 0);
        }

    }

The configuration file is located at ~/.config/cute_lights/lights.toml. It is used to store the ip addresses and api keys for lights. The file should look like this:

[kasa]
enabled = true
addresses = [
    "192.168.86.xx",
    "192.168.86.xx",
]

[govee]
enabled = true
addresses = ["192.168.86.xx"]

[hue]
enabled = true
bridge_ip = "192.168.86.xx"
