Disable Update Notifications

Description
It would be nice to be able to Disable Update Notifications. Either a switch to turn them off in the remote or an option in the config to permanently disable.
I have a module that needed to be updated manually (I assume because it's not on the 3rd Party Modules page) and the mirror was getting spammed with update messages! Not a huge deal but I wasn't available to do the update for about a week and I was informed the only way to get rid of the messages and actually see what's happening on the mirror was to launch the MagicMirror on the remote and dismiss them individually and that I'm the worst for not getting this updated in a timely manner!
Incase you are wondering I'm using the MMM-NewPIR module which was the only PIR module I was able to get working the way I wanted!
Thanks!

Which notification are you pointing out? I believe that you can take the one displayed in the mirror by just removing the updatenotification module. Are you talking about that?
Of course I actually updated the module so the messages are gone... but I did write down what they were!
Update for MMM-NewPIR module
[NPM] @bugsounet/npmcheck v09.9.95 -> v0.9.96
Update for MMM-NewPIR module
[NPM] @bugsounet/screen v1.1.8 -> v1.1.8
I guess I assumed they were coming from your module but I'm new to this so it's very possible that I'm wrong!
Don't worry! Thank you so much for letting me know the versions. I'll check if there's something I can do, and get back to this issue.
PD: I'm mostly sure that RC grab the info from the .git folder, so I assume that deleting that folder should do the trick. :D
Okay I got another update notification, is this notification from the Remote module or from the PIR module?
Thanks!
Hey! That could be something related to the updatenotification default module. I'll let you a link here with instructions on how to configure it. Try ignoring the module you're getting an update.
Apparently it's not from the updatenotifications, you can actually see the updatenotification in my screenshot behind the top alert in the center! Of course I didn't notice that until I added the config... I'm thinking it has to be an alert generated by the NewPIR module using its own popup. I'll have to get a hold of him and see if there is a way to turn those off.
P.S. I tried to update the MagicMirror using the remotes web interface but it says it's up to date :(
So I checked the code of NewPIR and you're correct, that module sends a notification when a new version is available. You should create a issue over there to let them know your thoughts.
About the MM update. If you don't have it updated, most probably it's because it wasn't downloaded using git. That's a limitation I cannot handle with the Remote Control right now. Even it applies to every other module, actually.
Let me know if you have any other question, and I'll be glad to answer them!
Thanks for confirming!
As for the update I guess I don't really know how that works... I installed using git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror which pulls from github. How should I have installed so I can use the update feature?
If you used git clone, then you're just fine. You'll have the update when they release it.
