      @lavolp3 NOw I have the error, I think!

      the thisin the interval might refer to another this and not to the original module-this
      So you need to do the following in start:

      start : function(){
                                      var self = this;
      				setInterval(function() {self.updateDom()}, 1000);
      		},

            @sdetweil said in Help with updateDom():

            @UjwalReddy267 your pointer ‘this’ is wrong inside the timer handle

            setInterval(function() {this.updateDom()
            

            you need to do

            var self=this
            

            and in the handler use self instead

            setInterval(function() {self.updateDom()
            

            Yes, that was the error, thank you it works now.

              better use this …

              start : function(){
                setInterval( () => {this.updateDom()}, 1000);
              },
