      Forgot to mention that you will need to create “tokens.ini” if you haven’t already. Editing the existing “tokens.ini.sample” won’t give the desired result when running the script, since it’s looking for “tokens.ini”.

        Is the first code/key part the part inbetween the code= &state= or the entire thing? I can’t seem to get this workaround to work.

            Lots of good info to try out. I failed at getting this working this morning before leaving for work.

            I do have a question. The directions say MM has to be started with sudo, i’m starting it by running ‘pm2 start mm’ per the MM install setup. How do I run this as root?

            Thanks

              OK, So I’m working on this and being new to MM, NodeJS, GIT, etc. is not helping :) (I am a programmer, so at least I have that going for me).
              Something that I don’t think was too clear, at least it wasn’t for me. When running setupAccess.py, it’s starting a web service, the direction say to log into your fitbit account and authorize your app, what I had to do, on my Pi, was to go to 127.0.0.1:8080. This initiated the redirect to Fitbit, when I logged in I had the check boxes to enable/disable items and the allow/deny buttons.
              When I clicked on the “allow” then the terminal with setupAccess running showed that the tokens were getting written out, and indeed the tokens.ini file was finally created.

                I’m having a problem with my fitbit module. (mods if this should be a new thread just let me know).
                I can start the MM and the FB data loads, then after a time my ‘credentials.ini’ file gets changed to “undefined” for both entries

                [Credentials]
                c_id = undefined
                c_secret = undefined
                

                Now, when I ran setupAccess.py the file was correct and my tokens file was created. What I’m seeing happen is that after a while the FB module stops refreshing. I’m guessing it’s because the tokens need to be refreshed and because my credentials are gone, it can’t authorize.

                Any thoughts?
                I’m not sure how to get any logs or info out of the system. I’m running MM through pm2 and I don’t see any log files.

                TIA

                  Solved my issues.

                  Saw the following when starting up MM

                  results: [{"message":"Writing credentials to credentials.ini","type":"status"},{"message":"Writing id: undefined and secret: undefined","type":"status"},{"message":"Credentials write successful","type":"status"}]
                  Create new todo fetcher for list: Groceries - Interval: 60000
                  Create new todo fetcher for list: Family - Interval: 60000
                  Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
                  { Error: process exited with code 1
                      at terminateIfNeeded (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/python-shell/index.js:100:23)

                      at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:191:7)
                      at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:204:12)
                    executable: 'python',
                    options: null,
                    script: 'modules/MMM-fitbit/python/getData.py',
                    args: null,
                    exitCode: 1 }
                  MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
                  If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
                  

                  Tracing the information back, it was in the config.js file. I had an extra set of [] around the credentials data. Not sure how or why I had it that way, but all cleared up now.

                    Hi Guys,

                    Firstly thank you for creating this module it’s exactly what I wanted!

                    I’m having an issue with the module running for extended periods of time where it loses connection to fitbit and I need to run “sudo python setupAccess.py” on the python directory again to get it to pull my latest stats from Fitbit.

                    Do you have any way it can check in with Fitbit every 30 mins or every hour to reconnect and pull the latest stats?

                    Many thanks
                    Ollie

                      Hi Guys,

                      this Module is freaking me out… (123456789 are just examples for my API ID)
                      I just entered this Code in my config.js

                      {
                      	module: 'MMM-fitbit',
                      	position: 'top_center',
                      	config: [
                      		credentials: {
                      			client_id: 123456789,
                      			client_secret: 123456789,
                      		},
                      		resources: [
                      			'steps',
                      			'floors',
                      			'caloriesOut',
                      			'distance',
                      			'activeMinutes',
                      			'sleep',
                      			'heart'
                      		]
                      	]
                      },
                      

                      if i try to start magicmirror it doesnt load because he says there is no valid config.
                      I opened an issue in github for that and Venditteli says there are some issues with the file ownership of any ini file. Any hint or any workaround is very pleased wellcome.

                      Thank you guys.

                      Regards

                        Hi Hellangle1978,

                        Try the below I saw a few errors in the example code;

                        {
                        	module: ‘MMM-fitbit’,
                        	position: ‘top_center’,
                        	config: {
                        		credentials: {
                        			client_id: '123456789',
                        			client_secret: '123456789',
                        			},
                        		resources: [
                        			‘steps’,
                        			‘floors’,
                        			‘caloriesOut’,
                        			‘distance’,
                        			‘activeMinutes’,
                        			‘sleep’,
                        			‘heart’
                        			]
                        		}
                        },
