    • Need help in Javascript for resetting module if user no longer interacts after x seconds.

      I am using a Sonar module on Raspberry Pi to indicate whether someone is in front of the mirror or not. I use MMM-websocket to transfer this information to MagicMirror and it works correctly. Now, when there is nobody in front of the mirror for x seconds, I would like to call a function to reset the module. However, I got an issue on Javascript side:

      Currently I have this function for resetting in my module:

      userNoLongerInFrontSoReset: function(){
          if (this.resetTimeout != null){
              clearTimeout(this.resetTimeout);
          }
      
          this.resetTimeout = setTimeout(function(){
              console.log("resetTimeout setTimeout");
      
              this.myVar = null;
              this.myVar2 = null;
              this.myVar3 = null;
      
              this.sendNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", 0); 
      
              this.updateDom();
      
          }, 3000)
      }
      

      I see from the console that resetTimeout setTimeout is being printed out from the code above, but then it got:

      Uncaught TypeError: this.sendNotification is not a function at myOwnModule.js:xxx
      

      So this is the problem. All those variables myVar, etc. are not being referred correctly as well as the function sendNotification. How can I set all myVar and call sendNotification from the anonymous function in this case? Or is there a better way to do this?

      Thank you,
