      On the Module MMM-SL’s github it says
      “updateNotification The notification to listen for. If received then will trigger update of departure times.”
      and
      “I recommend that you don’t update it with a timer, otherwise you will see that after a while you will get an error message instead. The recommended way is to trigger the update either with a button or similiar.”

      but i have no idea how to actually trigger the update and i havent found any guidance on how to do it on the modules github,
      if anyone got the answer it would be to great help

        I don’t know if this will help you but it’s worth looking into I think.

        Perhaps @Jopyth can be of some help in that topic

            @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
