@pyrosmiley I had the same issue and I could change it by setting new rights for the tokens.ini file. Set the rights for write to all (before this only for root access) and the new token can be written. Update works now, let’ see how long …

Hello all,

Newbie here. I know I am late trying to put together a MagicMirror, but I just discovered this! Anyway, I am trying to put this Fitbit module on mine, and I when I run “sudo python setupAccess.py”, I get a “python: can’t open file ‘setupAccess.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory” error.

I am not sure where I have gone wrong here, as I have followed the instructions thus far found here:

https://github.com/SVendittelli/MMM-fitbit/blob/master/README.md

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Achilles

I fixed it. Newbie mistake, I was in the wrong directory when I tried to excute the command. Having problems now trying to get my steps to show, so I have pouring over all of the info here in the forum…thanks to all who have posted here

I got it to work! Great module!

Hi! I too am new to MagicMirror (and programming in general) and am trying to install the Fitbit module. Maybe as you have done it so recently you could help me please?

When I enter:

sudo pip install -r python/fitbit/requirements.txt

I get the following error message:

Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘python/fitbit/requirements.txt’

Any idea what I am doing wrong or what I need to do?

Thanks!

@cambor

I am no expert by any means, but did your:

npm install python-shell

step work?

@achilles Thanks for getting back to me. Yes that step worked and now I have figured out I was in the wrong directory when running sudo pip install -r python/fitbit/requirements.txt. I was trying to do that step out of sequence before following the preceding steps in the Setup instructions.

I am facing another issue now though: I’ve added the example config to my config but when I try to run the MagicMirror it throws an error
“Please create a config file…If you get this message while your config is already created, you config file probably contains an error…”

I saw there was issues with the brackets after “config” in line 4 of the example config file and people have suggested replacing the [ with { and again on line 19 ] with } but it still doesn’t work.

Now I see some people are saying there are issues with the fitbit API (https://github.com/SVendittelli/MMM-fitbit/issues/15) but those comments are from January so I’d be interested to hear about how you got yours working so recently and if you can see where I might be going wrong.

Thanks a lot!

Every time I have got that error, it has been because I have something wrong with the syntax: Curly braces incorrect, double quotes where there should be single quotes, comma missing, etc. Does every open bracket or curly brace have a corresponding closing bracket or curly brace?

@cambor - Easiest thing to do is to copy the example config.js.sample file to config.js and modify it incrementally. After each modification to the file, you can reload the mirror and make sure you haven’t introduced an error.

If you like, you can post the MMM-fitbit section of your config.js here and we’ll see if we spot anything. Be sure to use the markdown features of the forum to aid in troubleshooting.

Has anyone’s Fitbit module stopped working recently? For some reason, mine is not displaying anything anymore–just 0s. This started about a week ago…
