Garmin Connect Integration

[sameershah23]

I am a fitness enthusiast and love my garmin fenix 3 HR. I am a newbie in the coding world, tried several times to follow documentation on creating my own module without much success.

I was wondering if anyone out there would be willing to create a module in partnership for Garmin Connect info for the MagicMirror

Hi I just created my first module using 2 things with garmin. I use the Calendar Module bind on my Garmin calendar (provide by garmin connect, section Cale%ndar) and I created a new module reading x last activities. My module its a mix between Calendar et New Feed modules. Its possible to go further with garmin but you must have a kind of ID provide by garmin developpement team… My new module is not on github yet. I could send you a picture of the result.

Super cool. Would it be possible to create a step by step guide on how you accomplished this?
I come from a non coding background, and hence I am not good with creating my own modules.

Looks super cool !! Great work! :)

@scarri that’s pretty cool.
I thought we had to pay to get access to the garmin api.

@d3r Here what you can and cannot do. Here the best URL than I found :
http://charzam.com/20013/06/16/google-connect-api-rest

I’m using into my module this :
Public activities:
http://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activitylist-service/activities/[USER GARMIN]?start=1&limit=10

Garmin iCal :
go into the MagicMirror\config\config file and add this in the MODULES section:

		{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'Garmin training',
			position: 'top_left',
			fetchInterval: 5000, // Update every 5 minutes.
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: 'heartbeat',
						url: 'YOUR URL PROVIDE BY GARMIN CONNECT'					      
					}				
				]
			}
		},

then to get your iCal Garmin URL, go to Garmin Connect, go to Calender, on the upper right of the calender you should see a arrow buttom giving you 2 options : publish activities on you device or publish the calender. Choose “publish the calender” and copy this url into the url property of config section. And Done!

I just post my first node.js project “GarminActivities” here :
https://github.com/scarri/MMM-GarminActivities

It’s my first upload project to github. At this point, I don’t know yet how to do a git installation process…

But the code is there.

Hey, thanks for the module.
I got the garmin training calendar to work but cannot get the activities history to work. Is the activities module config smilar to the training calendar one?
What should I put as "userAccessToken and appAccessToken:?

Hi

First, i didn’t cleaned up my source code. At this point, userAccessToken and appAccessToken are useless.
But the way to get your activities history, make sure you have set the userGarmin variable, the one you use to log you in on garmin connect web site. And I think you have to set you activities “public” by PARAMETERS - “Privacy setting” section.
You can try with my garmin user : scarri77
All my activies are open to a public acces.
