What would prevent it from logging? I am on the live logging screen and I see other events and log messages from ST but nothing from your app when I set up the API?
Never mind I figured it out, it doesnât show the urls in the log until you hit save. That key bit of info eluded me.

I keep getting 
Error Communicating with ST API: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

I think this error is related to one or more of the SmartThings devices you have specified in the BitBar Output App for a Which Temperature Sensor. This device is apparently not reporting temperature numeric values that BitBar Output App can sort, hence the null value and 500 response. What temperature devices do you have defined?
Would try and remove all temperature sensors you have defined/configured in the ST BitBar Output App, save and refresh your Mac BitBar Icon and see if one of them might be the culprit. If you get BitBar to display OK onthe Mac, you can add one back at a time to see which is the problem.
I had this similar error happen for my Hot Tub temperature sensor, it would output a âââ when temperature was not available, and caused the 500 errorâŠ
If that does not work, I will revise the BitBar Output App to catch and handle the null data from the device which would mean that temperature nothing would be displayed for that sensor.
tank you I got it to work.

I canât get pass Enable Oauth, everytime I click on Update after checking enable Oauth, I get the following :
Access to graph-na04-useast2.api.smartthings.com was denied
You donât have authorization to view this page.
Try again using incognito mode on your browser. The issue you are hitting is a known one and not related to the BitBar app.

I use Incognito view on Mac Chrome browser anytime I need to make changes to a device handler or oauth. Not sure why ST is so weird about Google Chrome, but using Incognito mode works!

Thanks for the quick answer. Incognito mode did the trick

Similar error to some above on new install "couldnât posix spawn error 8 "
I read about possibly mistakenly copying the files as HTML (which I also had)
so now I have taken the raw text from all 3 files into textedit and then saved it into the correct place (by the way I CREATED the folder ST inside the plugin folder to put the 2 files insideâŠis that correct)
2 files inside the ST folder , one outsideâŠI also did the terminal commands on the 2 filesâŠ
Still no goâŠone thoughtâŠtextedit of course messes up the file suffix, which I had to manually rename on all 3 files after installâŠis that an issue
anyway , not working for now !
Thanks

I wish this BitBar installation would be many times easier as many of the steps can cause frustrating cryptic error messages. Hang in there, it will work.
I just checked the âST_Python_Logic.pyâ python file on BitBar Github and noticed that, for some unknown reason, it is missing the required â#!/usr/bin/pythonâ header. Please click on this link to display the python code and copy is completely into the python file.
Here are what my BitBar macOS files look like when I verify them in macOS Finder. Please verify that your copies are named as I have them shown in the pics below and that the files are pure Python code and not anything else added.
Thanks KurtâŠ
verified that file names are correct (screenshot attached) also redid the raw code and pasted into the python fileâŠsame issueâŠ
Could location be an issue? âŠmine is in my users/name directory in a new folder called BITBAR
also just checking my config file looks correct (re where quotes and spaces are in the urls) âŠI changed a few numbers in this post in case I shouldnât be positing the real one LOLOL

Arg⊠Had my fingers crossed, but apparently that was not enough. 
OK, letâs try the next step. Itâs more techie, so hang in thereâŠ
Are you familiar with the macOS Terminal application & basic commands? This application is similar to the Windows CMD window if you were a windows user.
On your Mac Applications folder, locate the Utilities folder and in that folder is the Terminal application. Launch that application and a Unix Terminal window will open up for your commands. You should find your location in the home directory, ie users/name. For example, mine is /Users/sandeke as I have shown below using the PWD command. Using the CD command you can change the directory. I have shown the Unix Unix commands I used to get to the subdirectory that contains the ST_Python_Logic.py file.
In your Terminal window, navigate to the subdirectory that contains the ST_Python_Logic.py file, using the CD command as I have done below for my individual installation.
Kurts-MacBook:~sandeke$ pwd
/Users/sandeke
Kurts-MacBook:~ sandeke$ cd PycharmProjects/Bitbar/ST
Kurts-MacBook:ST sandeke$ pwd
/Users/sandeke/PycharmProjects/Bitbar/ST
Kurts-MacBook:ST sandeke$ ls -l
total 184

Kurts-MacBook:ST sandeke$ python ST_Python_Logic.py /Users/sandeke/PycharmProjects/Bitbar/ST/
My ST_Python_Logic.cfg file only has the following lines, where â55555â is my personal strings

Ok navigated to those files
these are the files
-rw-râr--@ 1 padman staff 1909 9 Oct 13:41 ST_Python_Logic.cfg
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 padman staff 85963 9 Oct 13:19 ST_Python_Logic.py
is that correct?

Yes, those are the correct files. You should be able to run the following command and get some output to the screen:
python ST_Python_Logic.py /Users/padman/ST/
assuming the subdirectory that the ST_Python_Logic.py file is named /Users/padman/ST/
if you want to know the subdirectory name where the ST_Python_Logic.py file is located, just issue the terminal command pwd
Here is my example:
python ST_Python_Logic.py /Users/sandeke/PycharmProjects/Bitbar/ST/
72° | font=âMenloâ size=14
'â
Hot Tub 0° | font=âMonacoâ size=11 color=Black color=#666666
Lower Level Freezer 0° | font=âMonacoâ size=11 color=Black color=#333333
Rocking Chair Light 
| font=âMonacoâ size=11 color=Black color=#666666
SleepIQ - Kurt 
| font=âMonacoâ size=11 color=Black color=#666666
SleepIQ - Nancy | font=âMonacoâ size=11 color=Black color=#333333
'â
truncated
The output from the ST_Python_Logic.py program is read by the BitBar APP that you have previously installed from GitHub - KurtSanders/STBitBarApp-V2: SmartThings BitBar for MacOS Menu Bar (Version 2) and designated the subdirectory for BitBar plugins.
Ok my directory is actually **/Users/padman/BITBAR/ST/
and running python ST_Python_Logic.py /Users/padman/BITBAR/ST
produces
File âST_Python_Logic.pyâ, line 1

is that any help ? âŠgood luck !
