Just purchased DCC starter set and expanding my layout, restricted to 5x6. How do I connect my turnouts to the controller? Looks like I will have wires all over the place but no place to connect them on the controller. Need some help!🙂

You will have to use a separate power supply for the switches. An old train set power pack can be found at train shows or on ebay for cheap and will work. EZ Command does not have the appropriate output to do what you want.

If you have an old 'Wall-Wart' powersupply rated 1 amp, or better, that puts out 12 - 16 volts, AC or DC, you could use that. Some of them will say 1,000ma instead of 1a, same thing.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
