How to show the software version number? #23

Closed chansters closed 3 years ago

First of all, thanks for building this module, it's working great ! I'm trying to edit your module to show the software version below the odometer reading. I can get it to display most the values from MQTT except for version. It shows up as "0". Would appreciate any guidance to get this to work. Thanks!!

You need to add the subscription to the /version topic in node_helper.js as well as in the main file. node_helper.js is what runs on the "server" side of MagicMirror and actually fetches data from Teslamate, while the MMM-Teslamate.js file is executed in the browser frontend.

Thank you !! That did the trick. Thanks for explaining the role of the node_helper.js file. I'm a week old with MM and I had no idea that was the purpose of this file.
