Good morning

Right now I use DCS remote to control 30 turnouts.  I would like to use a iPad with 2 different track diagrams on it to control the switches. The app dosn't do diagrams, just a small list. I don't want control panels on the layout. Anybody have any ideas ? This does not have to be a DCS system, just be able to work in conjunction with what I have.

Jan.... Those look like they are above my pay grade.

Joe..... yes I use the AIU TIU  I like that system, I want to add to what I have. I could simply wire in electrical switches or push button control panel. But I operate inside and outside my island, and I don't need unattended switches on the out outside. 

Off the top of my head... here... I'm thinking a lighted LED panel mounted somewhere just to show switch status. Something easily visible that's drawn to your layout. You'd still control it with a spare remote or pad, maybe dedicated to switch control. It would just make better sense of the switch labels at a glance. That way you would be able to use the features like routes for example without much change in hardware.

 I guess the problem for me is I'm not aware of a third party app that controls DCS equipment other than what I already mentioned. It sure seems like there maybe something already out there that you could remap to your layout already. I just haven't seen it myself yet.

 Hopefully someone else bails me out here!
