MMM-solar showing "Loading" and is doing nothing .... did someone get it running?

sdetweil

@mwel1977 thats just bad logging

edit the node_helper.js file in the MMM-Solar folder, at the end

after this

if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
					var jsonData = JSON.parse(body);
				        self.sendSocketNotification("SOLAR_DATA", jsonData);
				}

add this

				else{
				   if(error!=null){
					console.log("api request error ="+ JSON.stringify(error));
				   }
				   else{
					console.log("api response code error ="+ response.statusCode);
				   }
				}

i get this

Notification: GET_SOLAR Payload: [object Object]
api response code error =401

401 is authentication failed

I submitted that code to the MMM-Solar author for the future

@sdetweil - Just FYI for everyone: 401 is an Unauthorized Request error message. For some reason, your combination of API key, userID and systemID are not working.

sdetweil

@bhepler I know. I don’t have a key. So it should fail. I was just giving an example of the improved error reporting to help out

@sdetweil I’ll try it tonight.
Been busy last couple of days (sadly not with my MM2).
But I think it has something to do with the API not being able to connect to my solarpanel system. Like I mentionent before.

sdetweil

@mwel1977 cool… let us know what you find out…

I don’t know anything about the solar panel system

@mwel1977 Did you go to the authorization link on your developer portal? Do you see the app you created in the developer portal in your Enlighten site (under Account)?
