Landsteiner posted:Just a guess, but since Bluetooth firmware can be updated easily, feature creep will occur and more and more Legacy functions will find their way into the Lionel app over time. In 5-10 years it may be prohibitively expensive or otherwise difficult to manufacture the cab-2 remote or a successor, and in that case one might expect a move toward Bluetooth or something similar for everything in their line. For those who want a physical remote, the universal remote could be similarly upgraded in capabilities.
I agree about producing a Cab2. The hardware won't be worth doing but with that said, the WiFi App would have to be updated to provide a better interface to Legacy. The Universal Remote doesn't have enough buttons to cover all the things a Legacy remote can do. The only real path for Cab2less Legacy is an updated Wifi App. I'm not sure Bluetooth can replace Legacy with any amount of updates but as MTH has proven, a WiFi app can or at least really close.
