## Setup
You will need two keys to configre this plugin and they can both be generate on the [Ambient Weather Account Page](https://ambientweather.net/account). This part has been a point of confusion for many users.

creating the API key is straight forward. click the `Create API Key` button and give it a name if you would like.

Creating the Application key involves clicking the following link at the bottom of the 'API Keys' section.

`Developers: An Application Key is also required for each application that you develop. Click here to create one.`

A textbox will come up and you can either leave that blank or put a note in there (It doesn't appear to matter or get displayed anywhere) if you like and click `Create Application Key`.

These keys will get used when you setup the plugin in Homebridge.
