Has anyone been using WLED for text notification events?

I'm late to the party and only recently discovered WLED. I have the joyfulhouse driver installed and that has a lot of potential. I am sure I can use it to start a WLED scrolling text effect, which is something I am very interested in -- like a notification display for the home.

But, I cannot see an elegant way to handle multiple messages.

Imagine you want to show notifications for events like "garage door open" and "fridge open." It would be ideal for the text display to show all messages that are true at that time, and drop events as they change state.

If anyone can give me a lead on how to cobble that together with existing functions, I would appreciate it! But I would not be surprised if that required actual coding, to fire JSON at WLED from some kind of Hubitat notification stack.

Thanks if you have any ideas!

WLED is a very cool project for sure. If you want to take it for a spin you can get an esp32, power supply, and some LEDs for less than fifty bucks. You will immediately start thinking of things you want to do with it.
