RJr.,
Thanks.
I also wonder if with the MTH wifi system, I could build a graphical representation of my layout on my iPad and throw switches by touch. I have a big yard with many switches, and running the yard in that fashion would be easier than remembering all the switch numbers. I was very impressed with the Lionel LCS system that had this feature.
You're near York. Why not drive over Wed night and ask MTH direct? You can attend even if not a TCA member or not registered for the show/meet.
I might, but I was hoping someone on this forum could give me the answer.
Craig, as of right now there are only 4 persons outside MTH who really have the details. These are the beta testers, and they have promised not to tell. For a worthwhile answer, hold the question.
If you have never attended the Wed eve session, you're missing an excellent event. Without it, I'd be strongly tempted to skip York.
Tell me again, when does SkyNet become self-aware? 
Good luck, fellas.

Not only SkyNet, but in the IT world we are always skeptical about .0 upgrades. 
Gentlemen,
I guess I am about to aggravate some wifi users, but I do not give a hoot about any wifi upgrade for DCS, but man I would really like to see, the Hand Held Remote Control made fully rechargeable, and I would like to see the AIU upgraded to run wireless programmable low voltage switches, now to me these are serious upgrades for the DCS, additional wifi engineering is a waste of time IMO.

I have nothing DCS. I don't have any iWhatever either, I have an Android phone, and an old Nook, which is also Android-based. If the WIU is reasonably priced, I could see trying it out.
These phones rule our lives... and not always for the better.
Have fun if you like that sort of thing.
Ron
ha ha ... 4.31 is indeed DOA ... been replaced by DCS 5.0 ...
I hope this doesn't mean we go through another painful teething ...
Being that I have a smaller scale layout, the DCS Commander has done me well. I don't suppose that the USB to serial connection on the Wifi unit would successfully run through my Commander? Maybe there will be a Commander upgrade too? Just being cheap!
By the way, MTH wrote that
"The $24.99 PREMIUM version provides the user with full DCS control and more. The PREMIUM versions is slated to deliver in late Q1 of 2016."
We are already LATER than the first 2019 Q.
When?
Jean-Paul,
When?
As has been previously stated many times, "later this year".
ooh ooh are we there yet? 
Bill,
ooh ooh are we there yet?
No, we're not. and we won't be there in 5 more minutes, either! 
We are already LATER than the first 2019 Q.
Darn, I'm older than I thought.
Thank you Barry and sorry ; I missed it obviuosly because it is still advertized this way on the MTH website.
Of course 2016 
Whew! JP, you had me worried that my Medicare coverage was expiring.
The other guys have had their App done for years....... "Engine Driver"
If you would like to see what the advanced paid MTH / DCS / WiFi, may look like & do. Click Here
St. Joseph, Michigan will get it done, but later this year. 2016

Doubt it as the user interface is way too different from the current app.

Hi Matt
No doubt in my train room. Lionel and MTH have been playing catch up with their WiFi systems for years. I have used all three. “Engine Driver” was released in 2011. Lionel & MTH have both used and re-engineered their WiFi systems to work like Engine Driver.
Engine Driver is sold world wide and they have deep pockets for designing and engineering. They are the Model Train WiFi leader and Lionel and MTH are getting on board, with a late timetable.

Gary,
This free application can connect to a JMRI WiThrottle server running on a computer
Doesn't this app need a PC connected to the layout's TIUs to run?

According to the app description on iTunes, it's forDCC only, not DCS. Also, to my eye it looks like it's user interface was designed by a programmer rather than a graphic artist.
One more question. What do you need to connect the PC to the layout's TIUs?

Hi Barry: I hope these photos taken on my layout, answer all your questions.
Gary,
Now, I'm confused. It appears that you use the MTH DCS WiFi App, not the JMRI that app you were talking about.
So, what was the point of your previous post?
with 9 DCS remotes, I do not have the need for an app.
