Implementing this on the embedded side also increases the memory footprint. This shouldn't be a problem for boards like ESP32 but we should take it into account. |

Currently, TcMenu allows to send the menu remotely. Usually on the embedded device, we are limited with strict constraints, like small display, etc. However, embedControl is not limited at all. Usually runs on large displays and we have more options.
I will likely bypass this limitation by having a custom app where I just use the menuItem tree and the strings will be stored in an app. However, I think it could be useful to have an optional menuItem name for the remote connections.
Current state:
Displ. Settings <- Embedded side with small display
Displ. Settings <- Remote end in embedControl
Suggested solution:
Displ. Settings <- Embedded side with small display
Display Settings <- Remote end in embedControl
Suggested solution:
MenuTree should contain the display name and optional extended display name. If the extended name is not set, TcMenu will fallback to the default display name.
This is just an idea and hence I created this as part of the discussion and not as a feature request.
