FitbitSeer, a Fitbit plugin for HS3 - Need beta testers

[Moskus]

I thought I saw someone mention needing to upgrade Mono? Mine has Mono 4.5x at this point.

You might be right about that. A user had to update from mono 4.5 to 5.1 to make authentication work.

Here's an guide from HomeSeer Tech: https://helpdesk.homeseer.com/articl...date-to-mono-5

Yes, this is what is there:

HomeSeer/bin/FitbitSeer# ls
Fitbit.Portable.dll
Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.dll
Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.Extensions.Desktop.dll
Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.Extensions.dll
Newtonsoft.Json.dll
System.Net.Http.Extensions.dll
System.Net.Http.Primitives.dll

No it should work on Zee2 too. Did you extract the dll files to /bin/FitbitSeer ?

[TechFan]

I have been meaning to get this setup for years. . .finally decided to grab the latest and try setting it up. . .

I am using a system I built with the Zee image several years ago. . .getting an error in the log. . .is there anything special for running on Linux?

FitbitSeer ERROR

ConfigDevicePost: Could not load type 'Fitbit.Api.Portable.FitbitClient' from assembly 'Fitbit.Portable, Version=2.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Yup, that did the trick!

Just noticed the plugin hasn't been updating since the middle of January. IIRC Fitbit pushed a software update around then and am wondering if that's the issue.

It works just fine here.

My guess is that you just need to re-authenticate. You can do that from the root device of the account devices.

Hi,
One thing, I can't see my Device Battery Level.
I have a Versa 2, is that unit supported?

The unit is supported (my wife has it), but showing battery level is not. It's not present in the Fitbit API.

Hi,

Just installed the plugin and so far it looks great! Many thanks for creating it!

Norton was preventing the "suspicious program" from running, and the notification was hidden under the Homeseer Speaker. Once I figured that out and told Norton to behave itself, the install ran like clockwork. Now to figure out how much nagging I'll allow the HS/Fitbit combination.

Thank you!

Great!

Thanks for info om the false positive, I can't explain that.

How do you talk to Alexa on your wrist and keep her from listening on the other devices that are near when at home? I'd have to whisper

A first world problem right there...

... I got a Fitbit Versa 2, mostly so I can give HomeSeer Alexia voice commands from my wrist. ...

Wait, WHAT?!? You can do that? My 12th Fitbit recently died and I am debating getting another or an Apple Watch. How does the Versa communicate with Alexa? Is it BT through a phone to the Alexa app?
