Multiple LCD instances

[musicpluto]

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.

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?

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.
