ClimaCell redirects to tomorrow.io, and does not seem to be allowing public (free) connections #27

Just curious if I'm missing something, or not doing something correct?

I'm trying to install and setup the pi weather station for the first time. I have the application running, and the config screen to enter the API keys. I have the "Maps API key", and the "Geolocation API Key". However, I am making no progress on the Weather API key.

The directions I've seen and on this site have links to ClimaCell (which redirects to tomorrow.io) and then I try to sign up, I get "enter a business email address". If I add emails from yahoo, gmail (and other carriers), I get "sorry that's not a business email". Can someone give me a tip on how to get an account created? Or maybe there is an alternate weather API site?

Thanks, GreatLakesHam

If you go to https://www.tomorrow.io/weather-api/ you can sign up with a personal email and get free access. You're limited to a certain number of API calls, if I remember correctly.

Maybe someone else is seeing this too:

tomorrow.io won't let me log in anymore with my old user/pass. If I try to create a new account with the old email, it says an account already exists.

This is not correct. Your link still redirects to the same sign up page that requires a "work" email.
