Need help - New programmer
-
Hello, I am a 16 year old new programmer and I am in the process of making a smart mirror. My mirror should remind the person to drink water every 1 hour. I am unable to code it to do that. Can somebody help? I will really appreciate it!
-
@smart_user Where you are stuck ? check the default modules code, you will need to configure a timer to repeat the task every 1 hour (should be configurable). and in that task you should display message on screen.
Check window.timeout and window.setInterval function of javascript.
-
@smart_user you could use my sample module which puts up a configured message every few minutes. Change the message and the time…
-
@ashishtank Yes I will look into it. Thank you so much for the instant reply. Appreciate it a lot
-
@sdetweil Thank you so much! I will use this module and let you know how it goes!
-
@smart_user ok. Timer is in the node_helper.
It is a one time timer, setTimer, vs repeating, setInterval.Doesn’t need to be in the node_helper, but did that to show the structure and communication between the parts
-
@sdetweil It still isn’t working. I had configured for the alert to show up in 10 seconds but it didn’t
-
@smart_user you changed the 15000 in node_helper to 10000, right?
And u had a position: set in config.js, right?
-
@sdetweil Yes
-
@sdetweil Is it possible for you to send me a picture of the .js file so I can double check?
