  <hr>
  
  <p>Old answer:</p>
  
  <p>As of August 2018, this is not possible. However, <a href="https://lan.lego.com/news/overview/powered-up-afol-community-answers-r146/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TLG has stated</a> that they plan to add more compatibility to the Powered Up system, and this will likely be available as a firmware update in the future:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Q. Will all different Powered Up components (Boost, WeDo, Train, etc)
    be able to communicate and control each other, e.g. running a Boost
    program sequence using a Powered Up hub or using sensors with Powered
    Up hubs?</p>
    
    <p>A. It is the aim that the Powered UP platform will work together
    across both with the wired and wireless connection. Some of these
    connections are not implemented yet and will come through firmware and
    app updates.</p>
