      @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…

              @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
