hmm, still not sure, how we want to interface with cornrow.
Maybe, it is enough to add a PIN code and make it configurable via config file. What do you think?

Hi,
currently, there are no plans for such a feature. However, i can check whether I could implement any kind of socket interface.

Hi,
btw, what kind of button? Do you mean a physical one? Supporting GPIO should be easy.

Or perhaps include a method to allow users to connect within a set timeframe, let's say 1 minute.

I quite like that idea! By making it configurable it deters the random neighbor of connecting to the Bluetooth device, however it is still not safe. I believe for it to be safe no-one should be able to connect to it apart from pre-authorized connections. So I would propose to set a PIN code in the config file and also control default discoverability from the config.

In the future (depending how much work it is for you), exposing a toggle somewhere to turn on discoverability for a set amount of time would be a great addition as well. This could be via the app (easiest for users), or via the config file (available for all users, but lower ease of access)

Yes, this sounds acceptable to me. If you could even help out with a PR this would be best. I am not quite sure, when i find the time to do this. :)

Also great to hear, that someone is actually using the App. So, waht's your experience with it?
