These will replace the current integration with Dark Sky as this API is shutting down on Jan 2023.

Sense - Important API Changes:

Cindev has recently been notified that Sense will be deploying several important changes to their App API. Due to these changes existing OAuth tokens will be revoked. As Cindev's Sense driver uses the token in order to authenticate with Sense servers, a new token will need to be obtained in order to regain the functionality of the driver.
