Rather than reporting all MAC addresses seen ```mqtt-arp``` takes a list of MACs to watch for.

+The following aspects can be configured at run time:
* MQTT host (-h / --host / mqtt_host)
* MQTT post (-p / --port / mqtt_port)
* Location to report when device is present (-l / --location / location)
* Path to SSL certificate bundle (-c / --capath / capath)
* MAC addresses to watch for (-m / --mac / mac)
+ * Read config file at specific location (-f / --configfile / file path)
