How difficult would it be to change the data an existing module receives?

sdetweil

@Tippon so, summary

you use the app to push data to fitbit,

where the existing Fitbit2 module can get the data from the existing fitbit api…

Tippon

@sdetweil That’s right, yes :)

It’s ideal for me, and I have suspected ADHD, and don’t always remember to do things. I can just put the shortcut to this app next to my other health apps, and it acts as a reminder.

I’ve decided to remove one of the MMM-fitbit2 default categories and replace it with a modified copy of the calorie goal category instead. The default shows the calories remaining until your calorie goal, but I also want to see how many calories I’ve consumed. I just had a quick play and it seems easy enough, but I need to make sure that it doesn’t break the existing categories too.

Time for a break though, my kid’s about to get home from school, so any chance of peace and quiet is gone for the next few hours :D

Tippon

Just to double check before I break anything, if I forked the repo and replaced the installed version of MMM-Fitbit2 with my own, would I need to change anything in my config.js? I’m assuming that if I kept the same repo name it would just work, but I want to make sure.

sdetweil

@Tippon no changes to config unless you added something

Tippon

@sdetweil Brilliant, thank you :)

and then

                               cvt().fromFile(payload.tmpfile) // input xls  // changed to tmpfile
     				.subscribe((jsonObj, index) => { 
                                       // handle each row
                                   })

Sorry, I forgot to ask, where does this go? Does it go into the node_helper.js with the other line?

sdetweil

@Tippon it goes in the node_helper.

this is one way to process the csv file

@sdetweil Thank you :)
