Script to help me position my `Alcatel Linkhub HH40v` LTE modem for the best signal strength

<Purpose>
Script to help me position my `Alcatel Linkhub HH40v` LTE modem for the
best signal strength.
If a change in signal strength is detected, it uses the OS X command line
tool `say` to say the new signal strength.
<Usage>
1. Connect your computer to your Alcatel Linkhub's WiFi
2. Open a browser and go to the admin page at `192.168.1.1`
3. Open your browser's developer tools, go to the `network` tab and look
for requests to `http://192.168.1.1/jrd/webapi`
4. Take any request, copy the value of the header
`_TclRequestVerificationKey` and assign it to below variable
`REQUEST_KEY`
5. Turn up the volume of your computer and run the script
6. Walk your Alcatel Linkhub around your apartment (long extension cord is
helpful) and place it at where your computer tells you a high signal.

Seems to work also with TCL LINKHUB HH132

$result = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($result, true);
if (isset($result["error"]["message"])) {
   echo("ERROR: " .$result["error"]["message"]);
 } else {
   // var_dump($result);
   echo $result["result"]["UsedData"] / pow(1024, 3) . "\n";  // traffico
