Hi, this module works and displays great except for the fact that the only field that is displaying values is steps. Flights, calories, etc. all show 0 values but have the images and progress bars. When I ran setupAccess.py, I made sure all the boxes were checked so that every field was being shared. After doubting whether I actually did this, I went to my Fitbit profile and confirmed that the data is being shared with the app.
As another form of double checking my Fitbit sync, I have my Fitbit profile also linked to my Alexa and when I asked Alexa, it correctly said each of the fields that are currently zeros on the mirror display.
Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it? -
@tismepaulo same issue for me as well
-
Is anybody able to tell me how I would go about changing my distance from miles to kilometers? My mirror is set to metric however I believe this module has its own settings?

Hi folks, i’ve installed this module and got it up and running ,but it doesn’t seem to be pulling any data. Could anyone possibly point me in the right direction on how best to fix this? Cheers.

@Oliver_Tooth For starters, I would open up the developer tools to see if there are any obvious errors when the module is attempting to load data from the Fitbit servers.
If you’re using an external machine to view the web application (such as Firefox, Chrome, Edge or whatever) press the F12 button. You should see the screen divide and show you what’s going on behind the scenes. Find the console tab and click on it. Look for any error messages in red and see if that helps.
If you’re modifying the Pi directly, add the dev switch to the start command:
npm start dev. It will likewise open up the developer tools and you can see what’s going on.It’s a start.

@bhepler Cheers for the pointers. I’ve looked through the dev console and I can’t see anything glaringly obvious. Weirdly however, i’ve gone onto my account section on Fitbit’s website and it doesn’t actually say that this module (app) is listed as having access to the data, despite me running through all the setup as written.
-
@Oliver_Tooth Hrm. The next step would probably be to check the NPM logs. I think they’re located at
~/MagicMirror/npm-debug.log, or possibly in the FitBit module’s directory itself.It sure sounds like you’re not extracting data from the website.
-
@bhepler Slightly embarrassing to admit i can’t find that debug file anywhere!

@Oliver_Tooth Well, the Wife wants her FitBit stats on the mirror so I’m going to end up using this module at some point. I’ll try and catch up to you and we’ll debug this together.
