Dark sky being naughty after upgrade to 83.2

My dark sky sensor is mostly working after the upgrade to 0.83.2. I say mostly because the high and low temperature sensors have disappeared. I have checked sensor.dark_sky in states and they flat out don’t exist. I have used the sensor names per the dark sky sensor documentation. Here’s the relevant part of my configuration.yaml.

  - platform: darksky
    api_key: <redacted>
    monitored_conditions:
      - summary
      - icon
      - nearest_storm_distance
      - wind_speed
      - wind_bearing
      - apparent_temperature
      - visibility
      - humidity
      - precip_probability
      - precip_intensity
      - precip_type
      - minutely_summary
      - daily_summary
      - hourly_summary
      - temperature_high
      - temperature_low
      - apparent_temperature_high
      - apparent_temperature_low
      - pressure
      - temperature
      - uv_index
      - wind_gust
    units: us
    update_interval: '00:02:00'

Any Suggestions?

There’s a Breaking change for darksky in 0.83.

I had to add forecast: to mine, eg:

- platform: darksky
    name: dark_sensor
    api_key: !secret dark_api
    forecast:
      - 0
    monitored_conditions:
      - moon_phase

then reference with moon_phase_0

Thank you very much! The documentation was as clear as mud on how to get my highs and lows back again. Your little comment fixed everything.

I hope we can see more detailed doc examples like this in the future.
