@bhepler - At the risk of sounding stupid, you have to go back and run through the commands again and get to setupAcess.py to get Fitbit to work again?

bhepler

@achilles - Almost. You just have to run the setupAccess.py again. So get onto your Pi directly, open up a terminal window, stop your MagicMirror process, and run the sudo python setupAccess.py or whatever the command is. It will open up a browser window with the FitBit login page. Log in with your credentials, wait for the confirmation screen and then close the browser.

Restart your MagicMirror process and it should start pulling from the FitBit service.

@bhepler Thanks! That helped. I guess this means I can look forward to doing this every month or so?

bhepler

@achilles - I don’t actually know. Mine was up for months with no issue. It may be that a prolonged period without the module refreshing the tokens is the determining factor. It may even be something on Fitbit’s end expired all of the tokens.

This module looks great, unfortunately the installation is giving me the most difficulties from any module so far, I’m completely new to anything coding so I’m learning as I go. My first problem was trying to install the python-shell dependency. I get this message in my terminal:

pi@matt:~ $ npm install python-shell
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/home/pi/package.json’
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/home/pi/package.json’
npm WARN pi No description
npm WARN pi No repository field.
npm WARN pi No README data
npm WARN pi No license field.

python-shell@1.0.4

What am I doing wrong here?

See issue from mmille40 (above).

I am running ‘npm install python-shell’ from within the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-fitbit folder and appear to be having the exact same issue [although the location of the file that cannot be found is reported differently to mmille40’s location] and am unable to discover the reason why. Does anyone have any ideas?

@dh1201 this says u are in the MODULES folder, not MMM-Fitbit

dh1201

Should it be the modules directory then?

Set up states:

As with all modules, use git clone in the modules directory to download the module
Goto fitbit to register a new app (sign in with your fitbit account)
Give your app a catchy name and description
Your personal website, organisation, and organisation website can be whatever you like
Check browser and personal for OAuth settings
Callback URL MUST BE http://127.0.0.1:8080/
Give your app read & write permissions (read-only untested)
Note your:
“OAuth 2.0 Client ID” — (client_id)
“Client (Consumer) Secret” — (client_secret)
(You can access these again later via manage my apps at the same link as above)
Navigate to MMM-fitbit in the modules directory
Install dependancies using the listed commands

Sorry @sdetweil - I misread your post.

The command is definitely being run from within the MMM-fitbit directory; but shows the errors previously posted.

This module usually stops working for me after a day or two, and I have to go through the setupAccess.py again to get it to work, and then it stops working again within 48 hours.

Am I doing something wrong?
