MMM-SL how to trigger update?

@Mykle1 Thanks for mentioning. :)

@Baxer If you do not have a button, you could use a custom URL together with the Remote-Control (you need to install and configure the module though, do not forget to adapt your IP whitelist). Then you can send a notification request via an URL by accessing a custom URL.

In your case the URL would probably look like this:
http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote?notification=UPDATE_SL&action=NOTIFICATION

Or you could change the module to use a timer, but I assume the author of the module had a good reason for not doing that.

@Jopyth Holy shit it works, thanks man
the reason the author doesnt think the timer is a good idea its because the API have an maximum amount of calls you can make in a month which is 30 000, but if i wanted to go against his advice and make it update every 5 minute or so, how would i do that

@Jopyth I figured it out myself but thanks for the help, i used MMM-ModuleScheduler and put this

                 {
        module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
            notification_schedule: {
                notification: 'UPDATE_SL',
                schedule: '*/5 * * * *',
                payload: {
                    type: "UPDATE_SL",
                    title: 'sl!',
                    action: "notification"
                }
            }
        }

to make it update every 5 minutes
