Big Sky not linking to Alexa
« on: July 21, 2017, 08:20:38 am »
So I've started a Big Sky account and it says I'm logged in, downloaded the Big Sky skill to my Alexa App and enabled it. Every time I try to open the skill it says I need to link to Big Sky...very frustrating!  ???
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

As a weather junkie, I really enjoy this app!
Did you link the account?

The other day I asked for the weather through this skill and was randomly told "you have 40 weather inquires left".  Is this not free?

So did I. I've only used it once so far (enabled it yesterday) and it was so detailed I almost got annoyed when the rain was half an hour early! I wonder how many more inquiries before I'm at the '40 left' threshold.

I know I've made at least 12 to 15 and haven't had any kind of message telling me how many more inquiries I have left

Big Sky is free to use, there's no limit. In fact, the other day I changed the message to make that clear. (I'm the developer.)

Sorry for any confusion!

Oh thanks! My husband loves how detailed and accurate the forecast/information has been so far!

I asked Big Sky, Alexa and GH what the temp was at my current (home) location.  I got three different answers.  As a whole, they all three agreed it was too darn hot for me to even think about going outside!  It's 75, shady and breezy inside.  This is where I'll stay until Octoberish!
