Add Dark Sky documentation #992

| The `dark_sky` platform uses the [Dark Sky](https://darksky.net/) web service as a source for 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 Dark Sky, 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. |

Category should probably be updated to Deprecated

Good point. The platform would still work till the EOL of forecast.io but I guess that it would be simpler to get rid of the platform as soon the dependency is available.
|
Looks good! 🐬 |
|
I guess that we need to merge in the changes from #990 as those are going to the Forecast page. |
|
This is the bigger change and should have priority. |
|
We are waiting for the dependency and Paulus released 0.29 a couple of hours ago. So, it will be in 0.30 (i guess) but not sure if there is enough time to make it available as Weather component ;-) |
|
First we need a new python-forecastio release. |
With the name change the
forecastplatform will be deprecated and replaced by thedark_skysensor platform.
