From the doc

        // Calculate the time remaining until the next midnight
        const timeUntilMidnight = nextMidnight - now;

        // Schedule the updateDom method to be called at midnight
        setTimeout(() => {
            this.updateDom();

            // Reschedule the update for the next midnight
            scheduleMidnightUpdate.call(this);

    }
},

    notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, sender) {
        if (notification === 'CALENDAR_EVENTS') {
            this.storedEvents = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(payload))
            this.updateDom();
        } else if (notification === 'DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED') {
            // Call the function to start the first schedule
              scheduleMidnightUpdate.call(this);  
        }

This is the only source I see in the docs of that - a notification. Is that correct?

Thanks for the patience after the double misunderstanding.

you could have done all the initial event calculating in one function

used interval for the midnights (as it’s a fixed number)

@BKeyport MODULE_DOM_CREATED means YOUR getDom()/getTemplateData() has been called

@sdetweil yeah, doing it that way just throws headers with “Undefined” until it triggers. I’m not gonna go down that rabbit hole. It seems to work as is, so I’m gonna release for now.

        // Reschedule the update for the next midnight
        scheduleMidnightUpdate.call(this);
    }, timeUntilMidnight);
}

},

I would do it like this , much more straight forward

     function scheduleMidnightUpdate() {
         const now = new Date();
         const nextMidnight = new Date(now);
 
         // Set the time to midnight
         nextMidnight.setHours(24, 0, 0, 0);
 
         // Calculate the time remaining until the next midnight
         const timeUntilMidnight = nextMidnight - now;
 
         // Schedule the updateDom method to be called at midnight
         setTimeout(() => {
             // trigger first update on next midnight change
             this.updateDom();
            // start Recurring midnight change
             setInterval(()=>{
                 this.updateDom()
             }, 24*60*60*1000 ) // 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds * 1000 milliseconds (1 day elapsed in ms)  setInterval delay
         }, timeUntilMidnight);  // setTimeout delay
     }
 },

then the system triggers every midnight… not your code
