If phone app does not work still have the DC panel to operate things.
I don't actually know. I've heard that the mobile device connects to the DC since that is what you're pairing to. But I'm not sure if that's a passthrough from Phone -> DC -> BCM, or if the phone is parallel to the DC once paired. Either way, my DC location is still not that ideal given how far away I can connect, I'm often surprised.

I still get BCM disconnection errors though and have to power cycle the DC. During that time my phone cannot connect either until the DC comes back online... So I guess I just answered my own question!
