I'm using the software ESP_Easy_mega_20201130_normal_ESP8266_4M1M that allows multiple instances for LCDs. Everything is fine and working. The LCD shows some comming from MQTT. It's a pity, that MQTT is only able to display numbers but no text.
Therefore all the text-information was sent in the past via a http command (http://192.168.2.57/control?cmd=LCD,1,3,Hallo) from NodeRed direkt to the display. Now I have the three instances LCD1, LCD2 and LCD3. The http-command is no longer working. How can I adress these three instances via http? I beleive, that the name or the number of the task has to be a part of these command.
Is there anybody, who knows how to adress these instances? Thank your for your help.

Re: Multiple LCD instances
There is a pending PR for it.
https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/3198
So it isn't included in the nightly builds right now.

@TD-er: How long, do you think, will it last until these PR will be realized?
Re: Multiple LCD instances
Not sure, I have been working a lot on other things, working towards a release.
On the other hand the author of the PR (Ton) has made quite a few good quality contributions, so I don't expect a lot of issues regarding compatibility of existing rules.
It also is quite frequently requested as feature.
So I'm still weighing the cons and pros of merging it soon.

The PR has been merged and addressing separate tasks with commands using the '[taskname].' prefix syntax is available from release 20210114 (and later).
Taskname can be used with or without square brackets, the period is required (documentation is also updated).
