I'm afraid that I think I don't have the patience for whatever this is.

You realize this isn't a remote-control railroad or simulation you can access like the camera in Fostoria, right?  This is much more interesting than that; it's using the equipment and protocols for the "Internet of Things" to transfer and use the standard codes that were developed for DCC.  Expect the cost of the control modalities, the decoders, and probably the development environments for user interfaces to fall, perhaps precipitously, as the IoT revolution accelerates and broadens.
