Notes:

• The response messages back might be duplicated
• If you don't want to send any responses back, just comment out lines 82-88:

  //Send Update Requests Command, So Qlab Will Send OSC When Anything Happens in QLab 
    client.send('/updates', 1)
  
    //This is the same as above, but it does it every 59 seconds, because QLab times out after 1min apparently.
    setInterval(() => {
        client.send('/updates', 1)
    }, 59000);
