Description rugk 2017-08-21 20:39:31 UTC 
So applications can stop the connection.

Required for https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-mconnect/issues/32
Comment 1 Albert Vaca Cintora 2017-08-22 12:28:02 UTC 
Why is this needed in the first place? With the current design, devices automatically try to discover and connect to each other. This means that if we added a 'disconnect' button, after a while the devices would connect again.
Comment 2 rugk 2017-08-22 13:26:00 UTC 
At least when using the button on Android, it does not happen. And at least the GNOME extension runs the device discovery only for a limited time and only if you click on a button. So when implemented a disconnect would mean "disconnect until I click the button to reconnect again".

Reasons for disconnecting a device are diverse, e.g. saving power or so.
