Not sure I follow …

what would be my ‘shell command’?

I don’t know anything about your intention, but ‘get-temperature’ could be executable in your shell or terminal, it could be the one.

Yes, that is the command to get the temps from the PC using powershell or command prompt…

BUT, where to use the command in node_helper.js?

OR, where to use the command in the module.js file?

@justjim1220 let’s look at the design of your module.

How often do u need to get the temps?
Is it on a timer, or some other mechanism?

Anyhow, on that cycle, you would issue the ‘run’ of the powershell app in the node_helper.js, and capture it’s output.

Then process the output, remove all the useless data. Then send the raw data to the module.js, who will then format the HTML in the get_dom() function for display

const exec = require('child_process').exec
var NodeHelper = require("node_helper")

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
  socketNotificationReceived: function(noti, payload) {
    if (noti == "GIVE_ME_RESULT") {
      setTimeout(()=>{
        exec("C:\WINDOWS\system32\get-temperature", //I don't know WINDOWS system at all. Is it right?
          (err, sto, ste) => {
            if (!err) {
              this.sendSocketNotification("HERE_IS_RESULT", sto)
            } else {
              console.log("Error", err)
            }
          }
        )
      }, 1000)
    }
  }
})

It isn’t tested. But you can catch the idea.
