Issues updating Kendo Scheduler data

[Ben]

I am using a Kendo MVC Scheduler control with a TimeLine view and I am adding new events via an ajax call to my server to add to a table that holds scheduler events.  I need a way to refresh the scheduler or to add an event manually just so it will show up until the next refresh.  Is there an easy way to do that?  

I tried the following but it doesn't call my read method:

var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");

scheduler.resources[0].dataSource.read().then(
                function () {
                    scheduler.view(scheduler.view().name);
                });

This is my client side code:

 <% Html.Kendo().Scheduler<WheresMyTool.Models.MeetingViewModel>()
    .Name("scheduler")
    .Date(new DateTime(2016, 12, 16))
    .StartTime(new DateTime(2016, 12, 16, 7, 00, 00))
    .MajorTick(60)
    .EventTemplate(
                "<div class='#= eventStyle #' title='#= description #'>" +
                    "#= title #" +
                "</div>")
    .Views(views =>
    {
        views.TimelineWeekView(timeline =>
        {
            timeline.EventHeight(25);
            timeline.ColumnWidth(1);
        });
        views.TimelineView(timeline => 
        {
            timeline.EventHeight(25);
            timeline.ColumnWidth(10);
        });
        views.TimelineMonthView(timeline =>
        {
            timeline.StartTime(new DateTime(2016, 12, 16, 00, 00, 00));
            timeline.EndTime(new DateTime(2016, 12, 16, 00, 00, 00));
            timeline.MajorTick(1440);
            timeline.MinorTickCount(1);
            timeline.EventHeight(25);
            timeline.ColumnWidth(10);
        });
    })
    .Editable(a => a.Confirmation(false))
    .Timezone("Etc/UTC")
    .Group(group => group.Resources("Attendees").Orientation(SchedulerGroupOrientation.Vertical))
    .Events(e =>
    {
        e.DataBound("schedulerDataBound");
        e.Edit("scheduler_edit");
        e.Add("scheduler_add");
    })
    .Resources(resource =>
    {

        resource.Add(m => m.Attendees)
            .Title("Attendees")
            .Name("Attendees")
            .Multiple(true)
            .DataTextField("Text")
            .DataValueField("Value")
            .DataColorField("Color")
            .BindTo(Model.resourceList);
    })
    .DataSource(d => d
        .AutoSync(true)
        .Read("SchedulerRead", "Scheduler")
        .Create("SchedulerCreate", "Scheduler")
    ).Render();
        %>

Hello Ben,

I am not quite sure if I understand well the described scenario. Do you create a new Event in the Scheduler using the UI and the Add / Edit event pop-up form? If this is the case, apart from properly configuring the Create endpoint, you will also have to specify the Model.Id field from the SchedulerEvent view model:

.DataSource(d => d
    .AutoSync(true)
    .Read("SchedulerRead", "Scheduler")
    .Create("SchedulerCreate", "Scheduler")
    .Model(m => m.Id("ID"))
)

Attached you will find a simple MVC project, implementing the above suggestion. May I ask you to use that sample as a starting point and explain a bit in details, what would you like to achieve?
