<p class='note warning'>
**This platform has been deprecated in favor of the "[dark_sky](/components/sensor.dark_sky/)" platform and will be removed in the future. Please use the "dark_sky" platform.**
</p>
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 your `configuration.yaml` file. 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](https://www.google.com/maps) and clicking on your home or [Openstreetmap](http://www.openstreetmap.org/).
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.
