The `forecast` platform uses the [Forecast.io](https://forecast.io/) web service as a source of meteorological data for your location. The location is based on the `longitude` and `latitude` coordinates configured in `configuration.yaml`. The coordinates are auto-detected but to take advantage of the hyper-local weather reported by forecast.io, you can refine them down to your exact home address. GPS coordinates can be found by using Google Maps and clicking on your home.
