You also need a CSV file listing your known WiFi network names or the known outgoing IP and the corresponding status and emoji to associate.

For examples:

homewifi,remote,:house_with_garden:
daofficewifi,,
corpwifi,office,:office:
85.13.160.132,Office,:office:

slackstatus will look for the WiFi SSID names, then look for the exit IP (using http://ip-api.com).

Finally if nothing match, slackstatus will put you in status traveling with a flag corresponding to the detected country.
