Hi,

before you push this to npm can you please check the packaging guidelines - in particular the naming. https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/packaging

We try to keep node-red-node-... for nodes that are maintained by the core project and node-red-contrib-... for 3rd party nodes. Also please note we already have an LCD node for Pi here - https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-pilcd so we would rather you worked with us to enhance that, than create another node that may confuse users.

Many thanks
