CLASSES
    OpenGarden
    
    class OpenGarden
      The basic class definition
      
      Some usefull docs.
      
      Examples:
      
      myobj = OpenGarden       # define the object
      myobj.connect()          # connect to the device.
      print myobj.id           # print the id.
      og.load()
      print og.sunsite         # print the sunsite attribute.
      for i in og.programs:
          print i
      og.disconnect()
      del(og)
      
      Formats:
      - self.programs = [(1530,30,0xff,1), (1600,45,0x10,2)]
      - self.sunsite is device phisical installation where:
          0 is shadowed site.
          1 half-sun site.
          2 full sun site.
      
      Known Bugs:
      - Serial port must not be hardcoded here.
      - self.id name is too common, change it to something else.
      
      Methods defined here:
      
      connect(self)
          Connect to the device and set the device id.
      
      disconnect(self)
          Close the connection.
      
      load(self)
          loads programs and sunsite attributes from the device.
      
      save(self)
          save programs and sunsite attributes to the device.
      
      temperature(self)
          Read the temperature from the device's thermometer.
          
          Example:
              print og.temperature()
      
      time(self, t=None)
          Get or set the time of the device.
          
          Keyword arguments:
              t -- time_t value of the updated timer.
          
          Example:
              print og.time()     # print the time (format time_t)
              og.time(1319724362) # set the time to 2011-10-27 04:06:02 PM
