The idea is that you can place the complete set on the plate, as I understood the description

Hi, nope, now it works again Pages were down for many hours yesterday in many languages, as described by @pleegwat

No, they all vanished an hour ago!

I think that PU offers much more possibilities. For me. Remote control, load balancing with tacho motors, use cheap standard electronic to control and so on. But back to Smart Brick and it's properties

the 12 V train theme? Sound, light? That could be used in any technic set.

No, the sounds come from the Smart Tags. no. What you are Looking for is a PU hub ;-)

Press green button on the Move Hub, the press green button on the remote. No smartdevice required.

?? You first connect the Move Hub to the app. This is Hub 01. Then you connect the remote to the app. This is Hub 02. That should be shown in the list of connections. And this the reason why have to set the value to "2" in the Hub-Selection-block (bottom left, the Icon with the two hubs) BTW: why don't you connect the remote directly to the Hub, without any app?

No, you can easily reduce the number of shown icons für beginners. Look at the "settings". The children I played with on many exhibitions were between say 4 to 8 years , and all of then could move "Vernie" from the boost set within few (less then three) minutes (Boost-app, which has slightly different blocks) it detects the button pressed an delivers the value to the "compare" block, and if it equals "1" then motor start. There are other values, you can see then when selecting the right "value" field" You can see this easily, if have you use program with only the one(!) remote control block and press a button. I think yes, here when I press the B+ button the motor runs. When remote is connected as HUB 02.

I find it very user friendly, it is designed to be used by children, experimenting with it. As with a age of 6 years they could't read any explanations. There was the Boost Set (17101) with over 60 "lessons" to learn it. The explanation is done by the colors/topics of the blocks, and the symbols. Yes, I thought that was the requirement Yes, of course, but with a different program. Sorry that my example wasn't helpful.

I thought you were familiar with the Power App and use it already. But feel free to ask, if something doesn't work as expected..

I see. Here is a very simple approach: The two motor blocks on the right set speed to 50 (upper) resp 0 (lower). The "remote-icon"-block most left equals 1, what means the "+" button. And the block below points to HUB2 (which is the remote) / Button-Set B. So you have to connect the hub as 01 and the remote as 02 Duplicate all and change the remote port and motor port for second motor.

What kind of hub and program do you use?

Why dont't you program the complete process with the EV3?

Yes, we used that years ago, when there was no control panel in PuP-App and Pybricks not that easy to use as today. But: you loose all the advantages of the motors, like smooth control, precise speed control or load control and so on
