WiThrottle

WiThrottle controls a compatible model railway through JMRI or a supported dedicated Wi-Fi module.

Our take

Add a wireless throttle to an existing model railroad

Function controls and roster access can reduce returning to a fixed control station.

Keep in mind: It is not standalone: a working DCC layout and compatible JMRI or listed module setup are required.

What you can do

  • Control locomotive throttle and functions
  • Use dual-throttle or consist controls
  • Access supported routes turnouts and roster labels

Good for

  • Model railroaders with an already working compatible control system.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting the phone app to power or decode a layout by itself.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 11.0.
  • It is not standalone: a working DCC layout and compatible JMRI or listed module setup are required.

Privacy & permissions

The local network grants control over the layout; share access only with intended operators.
