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.

You need an API key which is free but requires [registration](https://developer.forecast.io/register). You can make up to 1000 calls per day for free which means that you could make one approximately every 86 seconds.
