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

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.
