The forecast platform uses the [Forecast.io](https://forecast.io/) web service as a source for meteorological data for your location.
|
|
|
|
You need an API key which is free but requires a [registration](https://developer.forecast.io/register). You can make 1000 requests per day. This means that you could create approximately every 1.4 minute one.
|
|
|
|
To add Forecast.io to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
