      This is currently not exposed to the user via the config.json (that feature is tracked here).
      However, you can change this option to “US” in your installed module directory.
      For more information about how units are handled by the Fitbit API, check out the unit system information detailed here.

        Sorry for replying to an old topic, but I thought it was best to keep this in the same place.

        I realised today that I’m having a problem with MMM-fitbit2. I fixed the issue in my other thread here yesterday:

        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14879/mmm-fitbit2-pythonshell-is-not-a-constructor?_=1617917654075

        but updated Magic Mirror shortly after, so I’m not sure if the problem existed before the update or not.

        The module loads and seems to work, but I’m only getting values returned for the calories I’ve burned water drank, and my weight. My food eaten isn’t updating, even though it’s showing in my Fitbit dashboard. I don’t have a Fitbit device so I’m not sure if the other values are flled in on my dashboard.

        Please forgive me if I'm slow to reply, I'm currently experiencing memory issues, and sometimes forget that I've asked a question >.<

            I would love to try this module, but at stuck at the starting block of creating an app on the Fitbit site… When I go to Settings -> Applications on the FitBit site there is a place where it would list the authorized applications, but does not allow creation of a new application. I tried in Firefox and Chrome, but get the same output. My web searching seems to indicate most of the results are adding an app to the actual FitBit wearable, not to the account. This is an older ‘Alta’ model, and it has no fancy bells and whistles - just basic tracking which DOES show up on the FitBit web site. I feel like I am missing something very basic, but am just not seeing it.

                @sdetweil: THANKS, I knew it was something simple… I guess i read the instructions [“Go to Fitbit …”] and just went to Fitbit, using my usual approach of launching it via my password manager. When I instead went to the dev site, it was straightforward to create an app. Thanks again!

                  Thank you :)

                  It seems to have solved the Python issue, but I’m still not seeing the calories I’ve eaten.

                  I’m really sorry. Please ignore me, I’m an idiot! :confounded_face:

                  I just noticed on the log that there was no figure set for my calorie goal, so I went through my profile on the Fitbit site, and the calorie goal wasn’t listed there either. I set it up sometime last year when I originally started trying to diet, but for some reason, the goal has gone and I have no idea why. It still shows up on my phone as I’ve got everything linked to everything else, so it must be populated from another app.

                  I feel like a muppet, but on the bright side, I’ve probably just burned of a few hundred calories just from embarrassment :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                    Sorry to be a pain, but my calories in is wrong again. I set a goal of 1,400 calories per day after my last post, and entered 51 calories of snacks to test it. It worked perfectly, and as well as showing my calories in on my mirror, the browser log showed the correct details being fetched (caloriesIn (data/goal): 51/1400). At some point today the goal has disappeared. It’s now showing caloriesIn (data/goal): 0/0.

                    I’ve opened the Fitbit dashboard and set up a food plan, in case that was the issue, but it hasn’t made a difference. My food has been logged and is showing correctly in my Fitbit dashboard, but it’s not transferring to the module.

                    I adjusted my weight and added some water, and both showed up immediately, so the module is obviously getting data, but I can’t figure out why it’s not getting my calories in.

                    Thanks for looking :)

                      Sorry, I can’t edit my last post.

                      It’s past midnight, and my calorie in goal is showing again. It’s back to zero and showing the full amount of calories available for the 14th. I’ll check tomorrow and see if it changes or disappears, and see if it changes once I add my breakfast or dinner.

                      Please forgive me if I'm slow to reply, I'm currently experiencing memory issues, and sometimes forget that I've asked a question >.<

                        Seems to be working properly. Apparently Fitbit doesn’t like it when you set your own calorie goals.
