@JoChef2 Will this module work with a google home mini?

Re: [MMM-AlexaOnOff] Simple Mirror Control from External Home Assistant (Alexa/Google Home/HASS.io)
@sdetweil is this module still working, because i tried it out and my google home mini cant find the device ?

@sdetweil so, i have my python script running in the background, and in my nodeHelper.js i would have

import {PythonShell} from 'python-shell';

let pyshell = new PythonShell('Swiping.py');  // < --- whatever your script name, in the module folder
 
// the .on handler gets called each time the pythin script writes a message to stdout
pyshell.on('message', function (message) {
  // received a message sent from the Python script (a simple "print" statement)
  console.log(message);
  // send info up to modulename.js
  this.sendSocketNotification("movement", message)
});

could you explain what movement and message mean in the sendSocketNotification?

@sdetweil Also how do i make it so that the python file is always running?

@sdetweil

var dataFile=["Archer S01E02Someshow.tv",
"Archer S01E03Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01e02Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01E04Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01E05someshow .tv",
"Archer s01E02Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01E09Someshow .tv",
]
var counter1=10


                    if(dataFile){
                        var output_list= [];
                        // should make this a config variable by adding to module defaults
                       // then would be this.config.counter
                       // get display limit, 10 if not specified in defaults
                       var counter=counter1 || 10
                        // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                        var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                        // loop thru the list of filenames
                        for(filename of dataFile) {
                            // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                            if(filename.length >0 && counter >0) {
                               // get the filename prefix
                               var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                               // save name to the output list, as a table entry
                               // remove space after the ->< , the forum hides everything after unless a space
                               // table has a row, 
                               output_list.push("<tr><td>")
                               // with data
                               if(split)
                                  output_list.push(split)
                               else 
                                   output_list.push('name not matched '+ filename)
                               // end of data and row
                               output_list.push("</td></tr>")
                               counter--;
                            } 
                        }  
                    }
                        // insert the table into the wrapper
            console.log( "<table>" + output_list.join('')+ "</table>");

This correct?

@sdetweil This may be a stupid question, but is there any way i can test this on my laptop, without the raspberry pi?

@sdetweil If possible could you please give me an example of how i would do it, i dont know much about js. and i looked at the MMM-Swipe but i couldnt understand much

If anyone else who understands the API could help me out i would really appreaciate it as well @sdetweil

If you could help me achieve this, or give me some info that could help me do this i would really appreciate it
