Disconnecting

When you are done using the Flex Timer, use the power off button in the top right of the app to disconnect. Disconnecting allows other users to connect to the timer.

If you leave range of the Timer, you will also be disconnected. If the timer is running, it will continue to run until the sequence you programmed is complete.
