        Does it help if I tell you that I got everything on my onstart function of the node_helper file?

            @SopaMaruchan I’m realizing that my my receiveSocketNotification is not being triggered on my MM-Module file:
            f111ce89-0276-4196-a41b-2ad73b016eaa-image.png
            I logged some text after calling receiveSocketNotification function but there’s no output on console.

            node_helper:

                let self=this

                has to be inside the getBill() function
                otherwise it could be set wrong…

                  @SopaMaruchan maybe for debug

                  inside the request() callback function,

                  do a

                  console.log(JSON.stringify(self, null,2))

                  to see what ‘this’ was pointing to

                    @sdetweil it’s indeed pointing to my module. Here’s the output: 55021cd9-1c10-46c3-8a9d-5de1e97674a1-image.png
                    and the huge LOG ends with the last 2 arguments: null & 2 e2503443-14c0-45ad-9614-37a9392997c0-image.png

                      problem is that the sockets are not connected at start time. so the sendSocketNotification is a no-op.

                      u need wait til the module sends a socket message

                      the module config is not visible to the node_helper, so the module has to send it over/down…
