Anyone know which source or API Givenergy uses for the weather forecast on the cloud (AIO used)?
As far as I can see most APIs require latitude and longitude but there is no way to enter these so it would be helpful to know the source/API so I can lookup the right address format to use.

Like many others our address isn't recognised so the forecast is blank, so I have been trying neighbouring addresses and it finally does have a forecast - the only thing is it is for somewhere hundreds of miles away with the same road name!

It seems to be using the Address field only - ignoring the postcode field. It is not a new build or new road but it is very rural so it has a house name without a road name, so it will need some kind of separator like a comma before the village name, and country and/or postcode to recognise the address.

[It seems once you get a recognised address and it starts picking up a weather forecast changing the address back to the previously correct (but unrecognised) address doesn't alter the weather forecast. ]

I found the Givenergy API documentation, and it uses latitude and longitude (like Solcast weather forecast does), but I still don't know what it uses to transform address and postcode to latitude and longitude (and this bit often gets it wrong!)
