MMM-Netatmo updated

Fozi

@kj3rra I’m a bit late to the party but I found a fork of the MMM-Netatmo module which allows to differentiate between several base stations. I recently had the same problem and I solved it that way.

There is an option called

deviceNumber

which you can adress in your config. Works flawlessly!

I think, this will effect the MMM-Netatmo?

Dear Netatmo developer,

To improve the security of our products, we inform you that the Client Credentials grant type method will be completely removed. It will no longer be possible to authenticate with the username and password of the user.

The effective date of this update is October 2022.

How can you authenticate with Netatmo API ?
From this date, the OAuth2 authorization code flow must be followed for authentication.

You can find details on this method on our website:

Netatmo Connect | Authentication
For tests, you can also get an Access Token from our developper portal.

Netatmo Developer Portal

Log in
Go on your account
Select the application for your test
Click on "Generate a Token"

You can now use this Access Token for 3 hours.

Good afternoon! I am from Russia, so the translator works.
I set up the CFenner author’s Netatmo module. Created an application on the Netatmo website and received an ID and key.
Everything works, but the author does not have English everywhere.
I liked your module more.
I tried to set it up. Unfortunately, I could not get the token through the cURL command line (I inserted my login, password, ID and key into the line. But an error is issued. Then I made a token on the application page. I inserted it into your module, but unfortunately the module does not show anything… ((I have the names of the sensors in the station settings in Russian. I entered them in config.js.

@Laz The module CFenner stopped working, apparently the problem is authorization (Netatmo developers have changed the method of authorization). How to log in now?

@Laz

Did you find a solution?

I’ve got the same problem :-(

@kasperinline Have you tried to create new credentials via the Netatmo web portal?
https://dev.netatmo.com/ I am using a fork of this module and have clientId,
clientSecret, accessToken, new
created. With this, the query of the Netatmo data works again.

Laz

@Tribun
Are you using a module from CFenner?
There is no accessToken input in this module. Only clientId and clientSecret are entered.
Have you made regenerate your client id and client secret in your application on the Netatmo website?
And entered new data into the module settings and everything worked?

(In addition to the problem with authorization in the Netatmo module in the Magic mirror, I have the same problem with authorization in the RainMachine auto-watering device. There, too, the login\password and client id and client secret are entered. Creating a new application on the Netatmo website and entering new data in the RainMachine settings did not help with authorization…)

@Laz Sorry, I got the module wrong, I used RaymondMolenaar’s module. There it was enough to recreate the module data on the Netatmo developer homepage and to exchange the data in config.js. A few months ago I recreated the access data because the module was no longer working properly, something was probably wrong with the API at the time Netatmo changed.
I have the new data "clientId: "
"clientSecret: "
“refreshToken:”
“accessToken:”
inserted into the config and the module works again.

@Tribun
Thank you
Did you create an app on the https://dev.netatmo.com/apps/ website?

I tried to put the RaymondMolenaar module once.

Here above (September 27, 2022) I wrote about my problem…

How did you get token ?

On the Netatmo application page, it is not clear which token should be used… ((

Tribun

@Laz
At choose scopes: select “read station” and press generate token, you will get the “refreshToken:” and
“accessToken:”

Enter all newly created values in config.js after that it should work again.
