Text box

Hi all,
I'm looking for some way to display the status from some selected devices in a textbox (dummy text device) I know we have the log but this is all data that domoticz is handling. I'm looking for specific scripts to add a line that will display the status of that script. I have several scripts running to but have to flick trough several screens to gather all the data I would like to know.
I tried searching on text, print etc but have a hard time finding some helpful info, so if someone could help me out that would be appreciated 8-)

Check for example viewtopic.php?t=34392

if you search for updateText on the forum then you will get more scripts where a text device is updated with dzVents.

This is getting me somewhere :) Only have to figure out if it is possible to get several lines in this text box. I'm aiming at a smaller log but only for some sensors...

from the wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Dummy_for ... ext_sensor
TEXT = Text you want to display, can be multiple lines when adding \r\n to the string.
