Hi Guys,

Firstly thank you for creating this module it’s exactly what I wanted!

I’m having an issue with the module running for extended periods of time where it loses connection to fitbit and I need to run “sudo python setupAccess.py” on the python directory again to get it to pull my latest stats from Fitbit.

Do you have any way it can check in with Fitbit every 30 mins or every hour to reconnect and pull the latest stats?

Many thanks
Ollie

Hi Guys,

this Module is freaking me out… (123456789 are just examples for my API ID)
I just entered this Code in my config.js

{
	module: 'MMM-fitbit',
	position: 'top_center',
	config: [
		credentials: {
			client_id: 123456789,
			client_secret: 123456789,
		},
		resources: [
			'steps',
			'floors',
			'caloriesOut',
			'distance',
			'activeMinutes',
			'sleep',
			'heart'
		]
	]
},

if i try to start magicmirror it doesnt load because he says there is no valid config.
I opened an issue in github for that and Venditteli says there are some issues with the file ownership of any ini file. Any hint or any workaround is very pleased wellcome.

Thank you guys.

Regards

Hellangel

Hi @olliewarren411

i used your code - not working.

I created as followed in instructions an token.ini worked all out no problem.
Just wen pasting the code in my config.js then after that the mirror will not start. Even if i use sudo npm start on desktop.
Mirror is aways asking for an config or an error in my config after pasting that in config :(

olliewarren411

@Hellangel1987 Can you post the config code you’re using please?

Hellangel1987

Im using your code as provided

olliewarren411

@Hellangel1987
Yes If possible please paste your entire config file as the error might be elsewhere

Looks like you’re using the wrong quote marks around elements, you’re using ‘ try using ’

There is a difference.

or use the code below; I’ve tested it working.

Thanks for publishing this module but i got some issues with it.

When i’m running sudo python setupAccess.py and put my client and secret it, the script looks frozen. (Same behaviour after multiple retries)

Anyone having the same issue ?

I don’t know why, i’ve followed instructions here :
https://github.com/SVendittelli/MMM-fitbit

Hellangel1987

@olliewarren411

good job buddy now it works but i dont get any numbers :(

olliewarren411

@Hellangel1987
No Problem.

When you run #sudo python setupAccess.py# on the python directory inside the MMM-fitbit folder does it redirect you to log into you fitbit account in an internet browser?

Also what fitbit model are you using? I tried this with a fitbit alta and it didn’t work. Then I tried with my fitbit ChargeHR and it works perfect* see attached. I changed the CSS to display vertically.

*i say it works perfect i just need a way to keep the connection to my fitbit account over a long period of time without having to re-run sudo python setupAccess.py on the python directory once a day.

Im using The Fitbit Charge HR

Hellangel1987

@olliewarren411

yepp works perfect. i have the token and autorized that app in browser.
after that i startet mirror with sudo npm start. but only zero numbers are shown :(

Did i have to do this once a day? Any cronjob for that ?

olliewarren411

@Hellangel1987

Sorry I’m out of ideas then.

Cronjob? I’m pretty new to this.

Hellangel1987

@olliewarren411 can you describe your steps and your configs ? i think there is any missconfiguration in my credentials config i think soo.

olliewarren411

@Hellangel1987

I cant easily explain as I had to play around a lot to get it to work… and then it just did.

When setting up your app on the fitbit website did you get the below steps?

Check browser and personal for OAuth settings
Callback URL MUST BE http://127.0.0.1:8080/
Give your app read & write permissions (read-only untested)

I could not set the Personal and OAuth settings until I got my personal URL wrong. When the page reloaded these two extra options appeared.

Hellangel1987

@olliewarren411

i set it all on that page. exeption was my location. but all other options are set.

Hellangel1987

@olliewarren411

works! i sued your code. Delete the token. set it up new - start it with sudo npm start in MagicMirror directory. -> WORKS!

I think i missunterstand the fibit API page where you have some buttons tu push and autorize the app (i think i pushed them in the wrong way)…

You sayed something about your token.ini -> can you explain what exactly you have to to every day? i think about an cronjob for that - good chance to solve that together!

And another option is the weight of my fitbit ARIA, these data are also available - how can we bind them into the app ?
