      @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

              @sdetweil Is it possible for you to send me a picture of the .js file so I can double check?

                @smart_user u can look on the github site

                View code. Then click on file.

                If you used git clone, then u can do

                git diff node_helper.js
                to see the differences

                    @smart_user show me the config block. Minimum is this. MUST have a position

                    {
                         module:"SampleModule",
                         position:"middle",
                     },

                      euh … position needed ONLY if you have to show something on the mirror (getDom).
                      If you have nothing to show THEN position is not needed

                      Note: verified in my lasted module (position is not needed because no visual)
