HM | DCC 1.4.0

The HM7000 range of products is supported by the HM | DCC app, which streamlines the process of setting up and managing model railway systems.

As a contemporary model railway control system, HM | DCC offers an intuitive interface for building a comprehensive library of locomotives, allowing users to exercise thorough control with ease. Users can customize locomotives with images, adjust settings in real time, and refine the operational style of each locomotive. The capability to design intricate layouts and maneuver locomotives through controllable points, signals, and turntables adds a layer of flexibility and freedom.

Setting up the system is straightforward. Users can log in, connect their Bluetooth® HM devices, power-cycle them, and begin operating effortlessly.

One of the standout features of this system is its completely wireless operation. The HM | DCC app facilitates untethered control of your layout, enabling users to upgrade existing systems without the hassle of replacing installed controllers and components.

Personalization extends beyond just operation; users can fill their engine shed with their fleet of locomotives, select photos for each unit, and program their settings to see instant changes in running styles.

The app offers complimentary locomotive sound profiles as well. By connecting HM7000-TXS decoders to HM | DCC, users can enjoy a wide variety of locomotive sounds available for download. Regular updates ensure access to the latest sound profiles as soon as they are released.

For layout design, the integrated Track Builder tool provides users with the means to create and visualize their ideal configurations. Furthermore, exporting a materials list simplifies the construction process.

The app is compatible with OO, TT, and N scale gauges, allowing a broad user base to upgrade previous DCC products for use with HM | DCC. It supports both Bluetooth® and non-Bluetooth® decoders operating concurrently, thereby extending usability across various locomotive types.

It is important to note that an account on Hornby.com is a prerequisite for using the HM | DCC app. Account creation is straightforward through the website. Internet access is necessary for device resets, profile downloads, hardware and app updates, and app login.

Prospective users should ensure their devices are compatible with both the HM | DCC app and the HM7000 range beforehand. While devices older than five years may function to some degree, they are not recommended for optimal control.
