Milight-Daemon needs a config that contains information about your milight bridge.

A valid config looks like this:

    "bridge": "192.168.2.141"
}

port: milight-daemon listening port
bridge: IP address of your milight bridge

Important the config must be located in the same folder as the milight-daemon binary. This will probaly change in the future.
