I just received my first OpenSprinkler and set it up on my wireless network to start learning about it. Unfortunately the “Powered by Dark Sky” link at the bottom of the Forecast page takes you to a page that says “Dark Sky API”and “We are no loner accepting new signups” (https://darksky.net/dev)
The blogpost the page lists says that existing users will be supported until July 1, 2020. Afterwards all non Apple subscribers will be cut off. Typical Apple move!
It goes on to say, the API service will continue to function through the end of 2021, but will not accept new signups. It seems to be blocking my device from connecting.
Unless it is actually an hour later and 58 degrees in New Orleans today in the middle of the eye of Christobal…
