MMM-GoogleKeep config.js

svenpisa

Hello everyone,
I wanted to install the following module on my MM2, but I can’t get it into config.js

[https://github.com/taxilof/MMM-GoogleKeep]

Yes, I’m a beginner but I thought I finally understood the logic of config.js.
I have entered the module as follows

		{
			module: "MMM-GoogleKeep",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Google Keep",
			config: {
				username: "MeineMailAdresse@gmail.com",
				password: "MeinSicheresPasswort",
				noteId: "1VgB6XhzmCrCpCwUFXr42YIvMiduDVNw_iweGb3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
				updateInterval: 60,
				maxLines: 10,
				width: 400,
				unchecked_only: true,
				}
		},

My question is, where is my error and why does the MM2 not start or is it the module itself? I have read that some people have problems with the module?
Please let me know how I can get the module to work, what I have to enter in which file or if you know an alternative to retrieve data from Google Keep.

Thanks and greetings
Sven

I haven’t looked at the code in detail, but that could be possible, yes. Of course, it may still be the case that something needs to be adjusted in gkeepapi and/or MMM-GoogleKeep.

The best thing would probably be to look at alternatives.

Can I see the status somewhere when it should work again?

If a gpsoauth version newer than 1.0.4 appears here, we can try again. You can also follow this discussion: https://github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi/issues/81.

I don’t use this module, but my first guess is that you have two-factor authentication on your Google account (which is definitely recommended) . In this case I suppose you have to create an app password to use the module.

This would also fit in with gkeepapi’s documentation, which says the following: " Enabling TwoFactor and logging in via an app password is recommended."

Have you already created an app password for it or have you used your normal Google password?

svenpisa

Hey Kristjan, thank you very much for your feedback. I had previously tried it with my Google password. After your message, I have now created an APP password, but it doesn’t work there either. And I keep thinking about what the problem could be. I have tested the 16-digit (4x4) password with spaces and without spaces, but every time I insert the module into the config.js and save it, only the Raspberry OS desktop is displayed and no longer the MM.

I have just had a quick look at the documentation https://gkeepapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#logging-in, but I can’t make any sense of it. I simply don’t yet have the knowledge of how to implement this documentation or where I may have to make which entries… :-( I’m just too much of a beginner for that.

so if you have any other tips or could explain to me how I should use these instructions, I would be very happy!!! :-)

@svenpisa please check the messages where u do npm start

if you use pm2 then do pm2 logs --lines=50

or

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

if you are running on the same screen as mm, then press ctrl-q, look at the messages

Hi Sam,

Here is the error excerpt. The error definitely occurs with KEEP but no idea what to do…

sdetweil

@svenpisa yes, the instruction leave out an important step

after step 2
then change to the module folder

 cd MMM-GoogleKeep

THEN

npm install

you can do that step now, in the module folder

svenpisa

@sdetweil i did it…
I went directly to ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleKeep $ and started npm install but then only got error messages

@svenpisa gr… the developer junk

edit package.json and change

"devDependencies"

to

"devDependencies1"

then do the
npm install
again

svenpisa

@sdetweil You’re great… Thank you very much
Partly good news.
It could now be installed and entered in config.js. MM also starts cleanly and is also displayed cleanly, but the KEEP module is unfortunately not displayed on the MM.
Now I need to get the list displayed somehow.
I have tried it with the APP password 16 digits as well as 4x4 digits and also with the Google password but unfortunately it is not displayed.
Any more ideas?

sdetweil

@svenpisa sorry, don’t know the internals of the module

svenpisa

@sdetweil What? I thought you were the God Father of Magic Mirror Modules!!! ;-)

No problem, maybe there is someone who has used this module before and it works for him to tell me what to do… I would be very happy anyway!!!

KristjanESPERANTO

I have tried to get the module to run, but have also failed. It seems to me that there is a problem with gkeepapi. A simple query with gkeepapi already fails.

There seems to be a workaround with docker (see https://github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi/issues/81), but I didn’t tested that. In the issue discussion the maintainer of gkeepapi mentioned waiting for a new release of gpsoauth. Then MMM-GoogleKeep might work again without any tinkering 🙂

svenpisa

@KristjanESPERANTO Thank you very much. Do I understand correctly that I may only have to wait until the module works or do I have to make additional settings? Can I see the status somewhere when it should work again?

sdetweil

@svenpisa well I can fix most install problems.

svenpisa

Hi @KristjanESPERANTO I have seen that something has happened in the issue. But I didn’t understand what was changed and what was adjusted. May I come back to your help? If you have time, could you take a look at the issue on GitHub?
Thank you very much and best regards

KristjanESPERANTO

I still can’t see a new version of gpsoauth or gkeepapi. In the issue they seem only talking about a workaround.

svenpisa

@KristjanESPERANTO ah ok, then I took it the wrong way. Sorry and thanks
