You then need to get that info into your DCC system, so the JMRI can then be used to do the automation.

I’m currently exploring these options, too.
It all comes at a cost per block

DCC Concepts have just released this detector with the DCC interface built in.

Digitrax also have the BDL168 if you’re into those products.
