Decoder Evaluation kit V2 now live!

[Overture]

Would it be possible to use the decoder board with a remote smart plug for on/off switching?

I don't see why not. You mean like a smart-home addressable power port? If you have it connected to one of those and just leave the power switch on the board in the on position, that'll do it. All the switch is doing on the board is gating the power anyway.

Yeah, just to be able to turn it on from the sofa, thanks!

That is the only reason I had kids.

How does the connection of the second board (5.1 extension) work? Does it require soldering or a special cable/connector from the other board?

As it is currently past midnight tomorrow Melbourne time, let us refer to the very informative web site:

Decoder Evaluation 5.1 upgrade board​

The decoder upgrade board is a simple plug-in addition that enables the 5.1 outputs of the decoder module.

No extra power supply is required; the board draws its power from the main decoder module.

Sleep well tonight with that knowledge.
