### Example

copy and paste style

```bash
## you must send signal to IRKit before
$ irkit local --retrieve
{"freq": 38, "data": [... ...], "format": "raw"}

## copy and paste the json
$ irkit local --send '{"freq": 38, "data": [... ...], "format": "raw"}'
```

store with key

```bash
$ irkit local --retrieve --save toggle-room-light
{"freq": 38, "data": [... ...], "format": "raw"}

$ cat ~/.config/irkit-py/signal.json
{"freq": 38, "data": [... ...], "format": "raw"}

$ irkit local --send movie-room-toggle
```


#### Internet API

Then you want to send internet API, you need to appoint device_id or client_key or both.

```bash
## retrieve needs client key
$ irkit internet --retrieve --client-key YOUR_CLIENT_KEY

## send needs client key and device id
$ irkit internet --send '{"freq": 38, "data": [... ...], "format": "raw"}' \
-c 0A9B3FFB240444A2BA70A9835BFE4F89 \
--device-id 6B08F5EA443E4983864908B4AFF897AA
```

This tool haven't follow client-key and device-key smart integration (it can only get {*see --key option*}).
It'll be implemented next version (and I welcome to your contlibute!).
