@bhepler Please, if you spot any problems with the documentation, create a pull request on GitHub and I’ll happily make those changes.

@bhepler That’s great news! I’ve managed to get mine up and working, but from what I can tell initially, it doesn’t seem to stay authorised for longer than a day, i’m currently browsing the python-fitbit forum for help on that. It’s also only showing data for steps, with all other fields showing 0. Is this something you’ve encountered?

bhepler

@Oliver_Tooth Somewhat. I see steps, distance and calories. Sleep is zero. There’s definitely something going on here. I haven’t run it long enough to encounter the authorization problem. I’ll investigate further tonight.

@Vendittelli - I’ll do that. I should have a PR for you in a couple days. Thanks for the great module!

Hello, thank you for that nice addon…i finally managed to make it work (exemple code is still incorrect on github…) but there is a problem, im using an alta hr and i only have the “steps” info on display, everything else is set to 0 :/
Any idea how i can fix that ?

The Modul wont work on my Mirror too.
First:
In the moment i haven`t any Fitbit Hardware. I use the Fitbit -App on my WindowsPhone. I can see in the App all useful things like step etc. and the data will sync with the Fitbit webservce.
I can see all activitys an the Mirror with a Zero …

When i stop the mirror with
pm2 stop mm and try to start the python script setupAccess.py from the local terminal so i can see this:

//your code here
sudo python setupAccess.py
Get credentials from credentials.ini ? (Y/N)
y

and not more - and no prompt …

when i now from a second terminal the mirror restart with pm2 restart mm
i see on the mirror only:

//your code here
```Traceback (most recent call last):

CherryPy 3.8.2

Can anyone help me to fix the problem ?

@s199 I also have this problem, only Steps is coming through. Did you manage to get it fixed?

For a little ways now, I’ve been running into an issue where, after running for a day or so, the module stops being able to update. It seems that it’s failing --for some odd reason-- to write the new Refresh Token, so when the Access token is expired, it needs to be re-authorized. I’ve looked through the code and I don’t know a whole lot but I cannot figure out why it’s doing what it’s doing. For now, I have this shell script set to run every night, and that seems to keep it running well enough. I’m sure there’s a better way but until I can get around to learning more, the kludgy way will do.

#!/bin/bash

export DISPLAY=:0
pm2 stop MagicMirror
python  ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-fitbit/python/setupAccess.py
killall chromium-browser
pm2 start MagicMirror

exit 0

The first line is there so that it can be run manually over SSH. I did have to log in manually once, but I just told chromium to remember me, so now I don’t have to do anything to re-grant access.

If anyone has a better fix, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Hi.

I start the setupAccess.py and i have got an Error from Chromium Browser.

In the Message stands the the Chromium Browser starts as normal user and not as root.

How can i fix it ?

Has anyone managed to get this installed on a Raspberry Pi Zero W using Jessie Lite?

When running setupAccess.py I can’t get anywhere as it doesn’t open a browser window so I can’t authenticate.

Any help appreciated.
