function Connect-LaMetricTime
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Connects to a LaMetric clock
    .DESCRIPTION
        Connects to a LaMetric clock.

        LaMetric Time devices require a local ApiKey.
        
        Unfortunately, there is no way to get this key automatically.
        
        To Connect-LaMetricTime, you'll need to visit [developer.lametric.com](https://developer.lametric.com) and sign in.

        You will find API Keys for your devices at [developer.lametric.com/user/devices](https://developer.lametric.com/user/devices).
    .EXAMPLE
        Connect-LaMetric -IPAddress $laMetricIP -ApiKey $myApiKey -PassThru
    .LINK
        Get-LaMetricTime

        Disconnect-LaMetricTime
