@MichMich
Why is this module not mentioned in your description on MM2 website?
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

@all
Can somebody explain me how this module work and why it does’t run in my configuration? 15 other Modules running like a oiled machine!

This should be in your config.js file:

            {
		module: "updatenotification",
		position: "top_bar"
	},

If it’s not then you aren’t using the current MM2…

If you’re not I would suggest you [from a terminal window] type: git pull
to update your software…

Hello, i use mm2 v2.1.0.
The only thing i changed was the position to display the module and the position inside the config. It’s on the 3-rd last position.

            {
                    "module": "updatenotification",
                    "position": "lower_third",
                    "classes": "small bright",
                    "disabled": false,
                    "$$hashKey": "object:2049"
            },
            {
                    "module": "MMM-RSS-FEED",
              ............... and so on.

Did somebody know how often this module are checking for updates?
Every hour or every day once?

The readme says every 10 minutes by default

The module first takes all the module names and then filters out the modules that are default, not hosted by git or for which git errors.
It does that only once when the mirror starts.

After that it does a fetch request and checks how many commits it’s behind for the remaining modules. If this is more than one it shows something on the screen. And lastly it sets a timer for the next loop.

@lolobyte i can see the hashkey property, this was a bug on my earlier prototype of the app. can you check when you change some settings for this module through the app if the haskey property is gone?

@strawberry-3.141

You mean the haskkey will be removed automatically by the new app or is that my part of the job?

@lolobyte it should be removed by the app if you change settings of this module on your phone and after that sync it with the mirror, otherwise this bug still persists and i have to recheck it. with the first prototype i wasn’t aware of that this internal reference was saved in the storage to the config in one line i didn’t spot it in the first place.
