==DarkSky==<br />
<br />
DarkSky (formaly forecast.io) is a weather forecast service where up to 1000 requests per day are for free.<br />
The service delivers data for each individual geo-location using an URL request.<br />
<br />
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIkey/LAT,LON?units=ca&exclude=currently,minutely,daily,alerts,flags<br />
<br />
http://forecast.io<br />
<br />
==Integration in Domoticz==<br />
<br />
'''!!! DEPRECATED !!! Use Visual Crossing as a direct successor. See wiki page [[Visual Crossing weather lookup|Visual Crossing]].'''<br />
<br />
The weather forecast data can be shown in Domoticz using virtual devices like:<br />
<br />
*Temperature<br />
*Humidity<br />
*Windspeed<br />
*Wind-direction / bearing<br />
*Rain<br />
*Prediction<br />
*Air-pressure<br />
<br />
Refer to [[Virtual weather devices#Scraping only temperature]] for instructions on how to split out the combined THB (Temperature + Humidity + Baro) virtual device provided by forecast.io into three separate virtual devices. The instructions are exactly the same as for the former Weather Underground solution so forecast.io is a drop-in replacement for WU which no longer provides free API keys.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
<br />
===Get a free DarkSky key===<br />
<br />
Enter the URL and request a free API key. [https://developer.forecast.io/] https://developer.forecast.io/<br />
<br />
'''''Warning:''' DarkSky has joined Apple resulting in stopping the API key requests from march 2020 ([https://blog.darksky.net/ source])''<br />
<br />
''Our API service for existing customers is not changing today, but we will no longer accept new signups. The API will continue to function through the end of 2021.''<br />
<br />
===Add DarkSky hardware in domoticz===<br />
<br />
*From the hardware setup, add the DarkSky (Weather Lookup) (previously called forecast.io) hardware<br />
*Enter the above registrated API key<br />
*For location you can use latitude/longitude coordinates like 52.520007, 13.404954<br />
*or you could use a location name like 'Naarden', if this is not working use the coordinate method<br />
<br />
After a few minutes you will get new devices in the devices tab, and you can add them to the system<br />
<br />
(Make sure you have "Accept new Hardware Devices" ticked or "Allow for 5 minutes" active in the settings page when you setup the hardware item or no device will be added)<br />
