      @SopaMaruchan
      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

            @SopaMaruchan

            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…

              @SopaMaruchan Maybe the below example would help or serve as a guide to see if you may have the send call in the wrong place.

              module.exports = NodeHelper.create ({
                  start: function() {
                      console.log('Starting node_helper for module: ' + this.name)
                  },
              
                  getLights: async function(payload) {
                      var url = "http://" + payload.bridgeip + "/api/" + payload.userid + "/" + payload.lightsOrGroups;
                      
                      var response = await fetch(url)
                      if (!response.status == 200) {
                          console.error(`Error retrieving data: ${response.statusCode} ${response.statusText}`)
                          return;
                      }
              
                      var result = await response.json()
                      
                      this.sendSocketNotification("lightsorgroups", result)
                  },````

                @mumblebaj he is calling from start:

                but sockets not setup yet.

                he really needs to wait til the module sends the 1st notification down ( what we use to send config info from module to helper)

                  @sdetweil Ah, hopefully he caught that and changes it.
