@kylelamb1324 see my sample module
it’s node helper receives a message and sends one back
https://github.com/sdetweil/SampleModule
its
string identifying the message
and some buffer of data,
completely up to you, string, number, structure…
then on the receiving side u get the identifier, so you can tell different messages apart
and a pointer to the buffer sent by the sender
socket notifications are private to your module
an example use
the node_helper does not get any of the info from config.js like the modulename.js does
so, typically the first thing would be to send the this.config buffer to the node_helper
