Two IC2 displays

[RadovanCiz]

Hi, I have two I2C displays connected to Wemos D1 Pro via the same I2C bus. I would like to send a text to the second LCD. Sending to the first one via command LCD works fine but I didn't find any command like lcd1 or MQTT possibilities on how to send it to the second one. Anyone have an idea?

Have you tried this command prefix for addressing a specific task when you're running multiple instances of the same plugin?

I've tried
192.168.1.95/control?cmd=lcd,4,1,"A"
Ok - the first LCD
192.168.1.95/control?cmd=2.lcd,4,1,"A"
Command unknown: 2.lcd,4,1,"A"
192.168.1.95/control?cmd=[2].lcd,4,1,"A"
Command unknown: [2].lcd,4,1,"A"
192.168.1.95/control?cmd=LCDDolni.lcd,4,1,"A"
Command unknown: LCDDolni.lcd,4,1,"A"
192.168.1.95/control?cmd=[LCDDolni].lcd,4,1,"A"
Command unknown: [LCDDolni].lcd,4,1,"A"

I'm using ESP_Easy_mega_20201130_normal_ESP8266_4M1M firmware

Not sure if it does work like that when sending commands via HTTP.

You could try to send it as an event, with the string as an eventvalue (not 100% sure strings as event value will work here)

So you call your events something like displayone and displaytwo.
The event you try to send is something like this:

Code: Select all

event,'displayone=4,1,"A"'

N.B. see the extra single quotes on the parameter of the event command.

Then in the rules you do something like this:

Code: Select all

on displayone do
  [LCDHorni].lcd,%eventvalue1%,%eventvalue2%,%eventvalue3%
endon

on displaytwo do
  [LCDDolni].lcd,%eventvalue1%,%eventvalue2%,%eventvalue3%
endon

The feature of prefixing a command with its taskname has been merged on January 3rd, 2021, so is not available in the build you are using.
Please upgrade to a newer build to use that feature.

It works with ESP_Easy_mega_20210223_normal_ESP8266_4M1M firmware. I didn't notice that the firmware remain the same after ESP web device update. Thank you
