What software are you using to drive your fully automated system? Mark's RTC? TrainBrain? JMRI? Home brew? I'm still looking for how to automate my setup once I get the pieces I've described here pushed out to my engines and switches. Sorry if you've posted elsewhere here about your automation. I've followed your posts in the past but don't recall.

I'll reach out to Mark and see - I've used the Elechouse CC1101 modules with 3v Arduinos, but the RFM69 would be more compact.
My system is entirely home-brew - I've been evolving it from one based on the Basic Stamp years ago! It relies on identifying engines with RFID readers at designated entry points, and then subsequently tracking the trains with third-rail block occupancy.
If you're interested you can see the code here. But at this point it's probably very hard for anyone else to unravel - the system includes custom SPI and I2C boards for occupancy sensing and controlling hacked MTH signal heads, remote controls for a TMCC crane and sawmill, and a spoofed C/MRI interface with JMRI for a graphic control panel. And I don't think I even understand the block control logic any more...
