    Sending text to LCD panel through event

    So I can send text to the LCD from device manager without issue - immediate as I would expect. However, when I create an event (identical to page 9 of the user guide), 99% of the time the text is not being sent to the display.

    Playing with another event, in my test, I've got a push button setup/monitored by the plugin which toggles a small relay. At this time, I'd like to update the LCD with appropriate information, but nothing gets displayed either. Are others having this problem as well?

    I'm using .142 beta.

    As a workaround, I discovered that I can call a specific page defined/stored from the device management page. The event will call the appropriate page and display the defined text.

      What I have found is I think the Send Command processes in the Event before the String is set. When I update my displays I set the Strings in one THEN section and then I use a second THEN section to perform the Sends. It's a two step process and has been working reliably for me. Not sure if there's a better way. You can't do a String update and a Send in the same THEN section. Once you use the Line number to set the string it's taken and not available for a second command in the same THEN section.
