Need help with MMM-BMWConnect

sdetweil

edit the module lib/tokenmanager.js

add the line marked below

console.log("token data ="+JSON.stringify(json))   // add this line before the one following already there
 if (typeof (json.token_type) === 'undefined' || typeof (json.access_token) === 'undefined') {
    _error("Couldn't find token in response");
    return;
  }

if using pm2, then stop mm, (pm2 stop 0)
run your MM again with

cd ~/MagicMirror
 npm start >somefile.txt

then stop MM with ctrl-c
then edit the somefile.txt
and file the line
“token data =”
post the rest, its possible the api changed

I do have active subscriptions for Remote Services and BMW Connected+. I’m able to interact with cardata through the app on my phone (just in case there was a question as to whether or not I should be able to use the module.)

I really appreciate your taking time to help me with this.

@cenotaph and u added your userid and password to the module config

like this

        config: {
            email: "email@example.com",
            password: "myComplexPassword"
        }

cenotaph

Yes. And I’ve copy/pasted from config.js to the login form on the web site to make sure that there’s no typo in config.js.

@cenotaph where r u located? in the US someplace

sdetweil

@cenotaph yeh, I think the authorization credentials in the token manager won’t work.

I don’t know where that came from … but I suspect it needs to be per user, like spotify, amazon, google, u need to make an ‘app’ with permissions to connect to the data

I have been using this module for the past 3 or so months. Initially I had the same issue. What you need to do is to download the powershell scripts from the module’s GitHub page. Run those and see if you get any data back. I can help you if you experience any issues with this.

You will have to try different end points until you find the correct one for your region. I then changed the locale as described in the above posts and it’s been working since.

I have since changed the module a bit to add more functionality.
