@done Kind of, yes. I think I have not fixed all mentioned errors, but hopefully the major ones. Also @Mr-Meeseeks added some new functionality (sending alerts).

Feel free to git pull the current status and test again. :) It should no longer mess up config.js files as much, but it still could be. It is using config.js.backupX so make manual backup somewhere else.

An example here:

@in_a_days Could you check if my changes on the develop branch solve the problem?

@Mar Good thing you found this error. Very strange, that it did not complain on my Pi before.

[Advertisement for my own module incoming]: We (ab)use the Trello module for this kind of note. My girlfriend and I use one dedicated list for MagicMirror notes, and if we put cards on it they show on the mirror. Downside is you need a Trello account, upside is, it is easy to edit from phone, PC, …

With some custom CSS styling it would look like a sticky note. :)

@kclemen Are you searching for the output in your browser console? The console.log("...") command from node_helper.js is shown on the console, however console.log("...") commands of your module will appear in your developer tools console in the browser (e.g. electron).

@Mar Well its not, as if it were documented anywhere in my readme. :( Should probably add this somewhere.

How long are you pressing the button? For a very short time? Note, that if the press is longer than 500ms it will not be registered as a (short) press (it is the maxShortPressTime and can be configured).

If this is not the case, I am sorry, but I have no real idea how to fix it, without having the same situation on my Pi.

@fox This PR should have fixed the issue (it is merged into the master).

Are you running MagicMirror 2.1.0? And is your PIR-Module up-to-date? Try updating both (see this and do it in both directories) to the newest version.

@broberg But why candle-free? :( The poor candles.

@dz I suggest you start with copying the helloworld module. For example, if you are in the MagicMirror modules folder you copy the default/helloworld folder to myawesomemodule (out of the default folder).

Then, in that folder you rename helloworld.js to myawesomemodule.js and change the name in line 10 in the new file also to myawesomemodule. You will also need to do these renaming steps, to change your module to a different name, so it is best if you pick a great name for what you want to do before you publish the module.

Now add your new module to the config:

{
    module: "myawesomemodule",
    position: "upper_third",
    classes: "large thin",
    config: {
        text: "My awesome module says: 'Hello World MagicMirror2'!"
    }
},

I hope this gets you started. Will see if I can add some more info on the node_helper.js stuff, but you may be able to figure this out yourself, by looking at other modules.
