Description
Control you entire model railroad from most Android phones or tablets in this simple to use yet feature rich app! The M.T.H. Digital Command System (DCS) is the most comprehensive and innovative model train control system available. While, at the same time, the easiest to set up and use! You’ll be running your trains in just a few minutes after installing the Wi-Fi DCS app and connecting to any one of several M.T.H. DCS track interface units.
The DCS system is capable of running conventional AC or DC powered model trains utilizing track power controls as well as the ultimate experience of full featured MTH ProtoSound 2.0 or 3.0 and Atlas O® ProtoSound 3.0 locomotives. In addition, DCS is the only cross-platform model railroad control system. When cabled to a Lionel® command base DCS also runs TMCC® and Legacy® engines all within the same app, on the same track, at the same time!! No other system has this capability.
The DCS app connects directly with our entry level system, the DCS Explorer for those just starting their journey into model railroading. For more advanced users, the DCS Wi-Fi Interface Unit (WIU) in combination with the Track Interface Unit (TIU) or, the all new Wi-Fi Track Interface Unit (WTIU) opens up the vast array of features available within the world of DCS. Run multiple trains simultaneously on the same track, control switches and accessories, and immerse yourself in the depth of sound and control features that is Wi-Fi DCS.
Simply the best way to run YOUR railroad!!
Recent changes: -Fixes a bug relating to selecting an engine when more then one exists on the track or in the app. -Fixes a bug when changing between multiple WTIUs -Fixes a bug that suppressed a timeout error.

Simple app that does the job. I find it much more intuitive than the normal DCS remote or TMCC/Legacy remote. It's not perfect, and occasionally have to refresh the app to get running again. Wish TMCC Locos stored their running speed like DCS/Legacy, but I think this is a fault of the TMCC system and not the app.

The app is intuitive. Easy to operate and a lot of fun. My only issue is that frequently I have to refresh the app in the middle of an operating session to continue running my trains. This is a bit frustrating.

Excellent App! The App is excellent and clearly the future of how to control MTH Protosound 2 and 3 engines. Looking forward to the Premium version which will provide all the functionality of the original DCS Remote. I've had this working with two different TIUs, that have two different TIU addresses with WIU connected via Ethernet to main router/network, and it works excellent. From my experience using the USB port is better than the 9pin serial. I've found using 7 inch tablet to be the best device size.

I bought a WTIU specifically to run all my newer Protosound 2 and 3 engines since MTH's other technology is abandoned and expensive. The phone recognizes the WTIU is connected via its own Wi-Fi. But when I open up the app, the app says "No WTIU found." Then, I try the home setup with Ethernet cable via the online instructions. The same thing happens. No matter what configuration I use, the app DOES NOT, WILL NOT, CANNOT recognize the WTIU despite what my devices say. This app is garbage.

Needs updated for latest android version. I found this little gem in a list of notifications in google play developer: Starting from 1 Nov 2022, apps that don't target an API level within two years of the latest Android release (API 29 and below) won't be available to new users with devices running Android versions newer than your app's target API level. This means that new users won't be able to discover or install your app on Google Play

Well March is over wondering if the full version that will cost $29.95 will ever be released... to be able to lash-up and run accessories and legacy engines will be worth the 160 already spent plus the 4.99 upgrade to run more than three engines
