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.

To add Forecast.io to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  platform: forecast
  api_key: YOUR_APP_KEY
  monitored_conditions:
    - summary
    - precip_type
    - precip_intensity
    - temperature
    - dew_point
    - wind_speed
    - wind_bearing
    - cloud_cover
    - humidity
    - pressure
    - visibility
    - ozone

Details about the API are available in the (Forecast.io documentation)[https://developer.forecast.io/docs/v2].
