dcc control with dc switches

hello i currently have the ez command controller wired to the layout , i created my own walk around cable with it and once i get my sound equipped gp7 i'm swapping over to the ez dcc comand using the same cable, my question is im going to be using normal dc snap switches, am i able to use a dc pack to operate the switch machine or am i able to run the switch machine wires to the ac terminals on the ez command?
thanks

Whatever you are using now for the switch machines, you can keep it and use it in the future. 

I don't know if the EZ command has a separate accessory AC output for switch machines and the like.  If it does, you could probably use that, unless the switch machines require DC power like Kato or Tortoise.

Whatever you do, you should not try to run the switches off the DCC track power.
