Bluetooth Disconnection Timeout

Bluetooth Disconnection Timeout has been added to Ring Control app from v2.10.0.

Update the app to the latest version to use this function.

From Ring Control v2.10.0, the Bluetooth Disconnection Timeout setting has been added.

This setting closes the connection automatically when the ring scanner and app are not in use, such as shift time, etc. Then the next user can make a new connection smoothly with the ring scanner.

Disconnection occurs when the timeout you set elapses while the ring scanner and app are NOT IN USE.
