While the OP wanted info on Lionel's switches, the Z-Stuff for Trains DZ-2500 switch machine can also be command controlled via the Cab1/2. You see these on Ross Custom Switches switches and a few on Atlas switches. Nearly all my switches have DZ-2500s controlling them.
On my old layout I liked the fact that I could set "routes" through multiple switches with one push of the button.
