Just a phone talking directly to the engines is a great thing. No more Cab remotes, a TMCC base and TIU and WiFi units. Just power for the engines and a smartphone. Bring it on.
I believe Pairing a Bluetooth engine to multiple smart phones will be a big problem. The Legacy Base and MTH TIU act as interpreters to allow many devices (Handheld remotes & smart devices with apps) talk to one engine (or multiple engines) at the same time. Once your LC+ Bluetooth engine is paired with one phone, all other phones & remotes are locked out from controlling that engine.
Kinda hard to run large layouts with multiple operators when only one phone can control everything.
