You would have to explain to me in really basic terms as im a newbie.

I am aware that the module is mostly time based, but is intended for data usage aswell although NOT very well documented.

I struggled for months to get the information to set it up as is.

Like I said cannot recall where I eventually did find the docs, but know many use this function on Chillispot hotspot installs.
