module: 'compliments',
                  position: 'lower_third',
                  config: {
                      updateInterval: 15000,
                      compliments: {
                      remoteFile: '~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/remote_compliments.json',
                      morning: [
                                         'Guten Morgen!',
                                         'Wie hast du geschlafen?',
                                         'Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag!'
