Done similar just as a test briefly >
Get easyESP up and running on the esp8266 > https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEasy
Then spend a bit of time on the wiki to set up the LCD, not that hard as the setup is all web based, then you need to set up the esp to receive MQTT. Then in signalk node-red set up MQTT there as well, need an account set up in Openplotter.
Then you can use node red to send MQTT messages to the ESP , cn't remember exactly how it worked but lots help on the wiki.

Sorry, bit short on detail but hopefully something to have a look at , setup is mostly menu/graphical, - going to build a real one sometime
