Jan,?
That is not my argument. I know that MQTT will never replace DCC. I was just proving that it can be used to transfer data to a decoder via wireless communication rather than the rail. This is a huge advantage for people who want to "deadrail" (battery power) locomotives.
I agree that there are too many proprietary systems out there and things in model railroad need to be "open source" like JMRI. I don't expect manufacturer's to open source hardware, but at least their communication structure, so people can push data to it. You are correct with the throttles.?
