Routes

Routes let you set multiple accessories to specific states in a single step. Instead of switching each turnout and signal individually, you define the desired configuration once and execute it whenever needed.

For example, a route "Main line entry" could set turnout 1 to straight, turnout 2 to diverging, and the entry signal to green — all with one tap.

Creating a route

Navigate to Routes in your profile and tap the + button. Give your route a name, then add the accessories it should control.

Configuring accessories

Each route contains a list of accessories and the states they should be set to. For every accessory entry you can choose between two modes:

• Linked to layout — Select an item from your layout. The route uses the accessory addresses configured on that item and stays in sync if you change the layout configuration later.

• Manual — Enter one or two accessory addresses directly and specify their on/off state. Useful for accessories that are not on your layout.

You can reorder the accessories in the list — they are executed from top to bottom.

Execution

When a route is executed, it sends commands to the command station for each accessory in sequence. The route tracks its execution state:

• Off — The route is idle.

• Executing — Commands are being sent.

• On — All accessories have been set and match the configured states.

A running route can be cancelled, but accessories that have already been switched will not be reverted.

Using routes

Routes can be activated from three places:

Throttle

Routes marked with Show in Throttle appear in the routes section of the automate tab. Tap to execute, tap again to cancel while running.

Layout

Place a route or track route item on your layout and assign a route to it. Tapping the item in the throttle executes the route. The item shows the current state: empty circle (off), filled circle (on), or animating (executing).

Automation scripts

Use the Set Route action in a script to execute a route as part of an automated sequence — for example, setting up turnouts before releasing a locomotive.
