this works for me you had everywhere weird quotes and the updateinterval was also wrong

Module.register("sensor",{
	defaults: {
		updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 30 mins
	},

	start: function(){
		this.sendSocketNotification("START", this.config);
	},

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if(notification === "DATA"){
			this.dataFile = payload;
			this.updateDom();
		}
	},

	getDom: function(){
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		if(this.dataFile){
			wrapper.innerHTML = this.dataFile;
		} else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No data";
		}
		return wrapper;
	}
});

const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
const fs= require("fs");

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
//here comes the part of the nodehelper after the 3 dots as posted above

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if(notification === "START"){
			this.config = payload;
			this.readData();
    			setInterval(() => {
        			this.readData();
    			}, this.config.updateInterval);
		}
	},

	readData: function(){
		//to read a file to do the following
		fs.readFile("Test-temp.txt", "utf8", (err, data) => {
			if (err) throw err;
			this.sendSocketNotification("DATA", data);
		});
	}
});

Here are my code files. Maybe this can help?

do you get any error in the console or in the electron console (cmd+shift+I)

did you place your Test-temp.txt in ~/MagicMirror or somewhere else?

dominic

@strawberry-3.141
Sorry i hade no time the last days.

I put the Test-temp.txt in ~/MagicMirror and for tests ind~/MagicMirror/modules/sensor.
But nothing happens.

I get only an error about the weatherforecast bu nothing els…

@dominic can you remove the weatherforecast from the config when its causing issues, so we can troubleshoot this module?

yawns

Hm, maybe you could try this.
Put the file in the modules folder and open it with “./Test-temp.txt“
Additionally i would suggest to go with lowercase during testing to exclude case sensitive mistakes.

@yawns electron is running in ~/MagicMirror, so putting the file in the modules directory and do ./Test-temp.txt won’t work. The code is generally working I tested it on my rpi

@strawberry-3.141 Hi :) it works :)
i don´t know why, but it works. I have reseted the system and after taht ist works.
Thank you very mutch.

i want to display not all the text out of the .txt file.
Do you know what i must change in the node_helper.js?

strawberry 3.141

i think this depends on the content of the file
