Reading reply from custom socket

Hi,
I’m a newbie.
I set out to learn by creating a custom socket to do some latency type measurements.
In javascript I created a regular websocket.
I am using @behaviour Phoenix.Socket.Transport
Authentication and part of the sending of messages work.

’ this.socket.send(“start”);’ in javascript
and

@impl true
def handle_in({"start", _opts}, state) do
    Rtc.Generic.Dev.debug_msg("handle in ", fn ->   "handle_in : start: #{inspect(state)}"   end)    
  {:ok, %{"beat"=>"beat"}}
end

results in ‘handle_in : start: %{token: “CGhIJW1MLzlNJBtNRSQyWAw”}’

Reading the data from the client is a different matter though.

sendHeartBeat(token, heartbeat_rate) {
    if (this.socket) {
        var sum = 0;
        for(let key in this.timesArray) {
            sum += this.timesArray[key]
        };
        var average = Math.round(sum/10);
        var maxi = Math.max(...this.timesArray);
        this.socket.send("heart", { token: token, avg: average, max: maxi});
     }
    this.scheduleHeartBeat(token, heartbeat_rate);
}

Does get sent.

@impl true
  def handle_in({text, _opts}, state) do
        tx = text
          |> Jason.decode()
          |> elem(1)
       {:reply, :ok, {:text, "beat"}, state}
 end

Seemed to work at one point, but when I came back to the code it stopped working.
The state does contain the token though.
I tried changing the information sent from javascript, working with patternmatching on various handel_in defs and to construct a case within a handle_in, but nothing sticks.

Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks
