Params

1. pushbullet or server This will launch a websocket server listening subscribing to Pushbullet. On pushes to pushbullet it will check for parameters and execute any command matched.
   This requires PUSHBULLET_API_KEY to be set in your .env file in the project root. You can create an API key from Pushbullet Settings under Access Tokens. You will also need to create a mechanism to push to messages to your pushbullet account. I suggest IFTT. A recipe for creating this is:

    1. If
        1. Google Assistant
        2. Say a phrase with a text ingredient  
        3. Selector command followed by a `$` for your text ingredient. e.g "PC $" or "Computer $".
    2. Then
        1. Push a note
        2. Message should be `textfield`
    3. Create
   

2. lock Locks the user space on win, linux and mac using lock-system.

3. volume <1-100> This command will set the volume of the current playback device to the given value.

4. play or pause This command emulates a keyboard media button press of play or pause.
