The forecast platform uses the [Forecast.io](https://forecast.io/) web service as a source for meteorological data for your location. The location is based on the Longitude and Latitude cooridinates configured in `configuration.yaml`. The cooridinates 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 cooridinates can be found by using Google Maps and clicking on your home.
