Withings

[frog]

@matt25
The problem I had was that I was ssh’ing into my mirror - so I tried running the Withings authorisation process on the mirror using Chrome, but I’m now getting a message that 127.0.0.1 can’t be reached.

[matt25]

@frog Ok sorry. When creating a withings app it is necessary to write something in the application website (127.0.0.1). In the Withings authentification process, do not fill the the ‘callback url’ field. Hope it helps.

Ah, OK,

Now a different error.

When I get to Step 3, do I stop there or continue on (I’m getting a Bad Request on step 4)

Also it says in step 2 I should get a URL once I access the user - but I get Access Granted - and another token - no URL.

To be clear about the parameters for the config.js:

oath_consumer key is the key given in the partner app page. under My Keys and called APIKey

oauth_signature is listed right at the bottom in the black box in step 3.

clientID - no idea what that is

oauth_token is taken from the black box in step 3 and is highlighted. There are two copies of it.

Oh, One last request about functionality. It would be great if you could specify in Config.js which readings are actually shown. I only use the scales and so the other stuff is superfluous. I suspect the majority of people would not necessarily have the full set (steps and sleep).

@frog

Seems that you are not using correct parameters in the Withings authentification process:

• Step1 : Use API keys and API secret generated during your Withings apps creation.
  You get a result URL with oauth_token and oauth_token_secret.

• Step2: Use oath_token and oauth_token_secret generated at step1. This will generate a result URL. Click on it and look at the adress bar, you will get in the URL your userid (6 digits), ‘&userid=xxxxxxx’

• Step3: use the userid got from step2. you will get an URL result with oauth_signature and oauth_token.

Hope it helps.

Selecting the data you want to display is the next step, that is why currently this is just a basic module and I did not yet published a official release.

@matt25 Hi,

Thanks, with your pointers, I got through to step 4 and the resultant URL does retrieve data so I know the credentials are working- but putting that into the config.js (all info it looks like you ask for is contained in that request URL), I still get zeros.

I suspect I’m close, but not sure what could be wrong.

@frog I’m getting the same results as you. I suspect the MM_Withings.js script needs to be tweaked a bit. I manually tested all the variables used in the config.js file, confirming that the API is setup correctly and returning data. My guess is that the output string of the MM_Withings.js script is different than what I’m testing.

Hi, sorry, was out last few weeks. Just tried the module on another raspberry card with from scratch installation and I cannot reproduce the issue you describe. When you launch the mirror, do you have any issue in the logs? (use “npm start dev” command). Thanks

@matt25

Per the console, I do receive weight (poids=90.67;) and date (date=1481195497) information, but then see the following:

status=0
error TypeError: Cannot read property ‘date’ of undefined
error TypeError: Cannot read property ‘body’ of undefined
data=undefined
data is null

[matt25]

@ih800a
ok thanks.
Do you only have a Withings scale, correct? or do you also have a watch or others?

My guess is that as my module is just currently a proof of concept, I try to display all the related information (weight, sleep, activity ) but if you do not have the withings device related it crashes.

Also, could you tell me when:
“error TypeError: Cannot read property ‘date’ of undefined”
which line in the MM_Withings.js script is related. It should be written in the debug console. Thanks

@matt25

I have a few Withings devices (pulse, scale, BP monitor, etc), so your theory makes good sense. Kudos, by the way on this proof of concept - I like it and this will be one of my first Pi / Magic Mirror / module customizations, so I appreciate any insight you have.

The errors appear at MM_Withings.js:208, which I believe is the line that writes the error to the log.
