Anyway to get around having to run the setupAccess.py everyday/every other day to keep the tokens fresh?
Since I have to stop the MM from running, run the script to get new token, start MM again, it gets kind of annoying. I also run my Pi w/o keyboard/mouse so when I need to refresh the tokens I have to connect them.
I thought about adding a cron job to stop the MM, run the script and start MM, thoughts? Since the script leaves a browser window open, can the cron job kill it or is there a way to have the python script close the window when done?

TIA

I haven’t done it, yet, just thinking about it since it was mentioned. I think I’ve narrowed down the issue though:

First got an “expired” token notice, then the process tries to get a new token (possibly using the “refresh” token, I’m not sure at this point). But refresh tokens are valid for one use only, so it’s like the updated token is getting updated in the token.ini file.

Also interested with the cron mechanism, the module could execute the setupAccess process once a day and trigger a reload on the gui ?

I’m using vnc to connect remotely on the RPI since i don’t have mouse/keyboards connected.

3 days of syncing without an issue. Not sure what changed, I did pull the latest dev code for MM but made no changes to the fitbit module.
(of course now that I’ve said this, it will error out during the day :) )

Had my first issues in a while last night. The problem was that my router lost internet connection and when it was restored the tokens were expired. I ran the setupAccess.py and got new tokens.
Seems that there should be a better way to reset the module on restart, like if the tokens are expired, the go get new ones.

The python that accesses the fitbit API is currently having that functionality added, I’m doing some work at the moment to help with install issues and once the work on python-fitbit is complete I’ll update again.

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

i noticed that my mirror stopped getting data updates. it works yesterday but not today, can you help me identify where went wrong?

@chengstark,
Possibly the internet connection was lost during a refresh, this will cause the tokens to get out of date.
I stop MM, re-run the “setupAccess.py” script using credentials from the file, then re-start MM and all is fine, until the next time I have an internet hiccup.

@kckndrgn thanks, will try
