Saving the current displayed message to reuse #10

Closed scheeko closed 1 week ago

I was trying to create "previous state buffer", such that a temporary message can be sent and then then the previous message returns. I was trying to do this by saving the displayed message from sensor.vestaboard_message however, when I try to send it to the board again it fails whenever there are encoded characters, such as the colors.

I guess your integration is decoding and showing the colors as emojis, however, the reverse action isn't possible. I was wondering if there is an easy way to re-encode the saved emojis or simply save the non-decoded message.

Thanks.
