Auto disconnect device possible?

mobamoba · 08-25-2015, 10:04 AM

I use CC to sync Calibre on multiple different devices (I use the Reading List plugin to auto-sync). While the automatic Wireless Connection on a schedule allows me to keep a particular device up to date, because Calibre only allows one device to be connected at a time, there's no real way that I can see to allow all my devices to sync - I have 3, a phone, a tablet, and an ereader.

So is there a way for CC to automatically disconnect the device, like by putting the connection on a timer or adding a disconnect time the same way there's a connect time? That way I could set one device to sync automatically at 1am, another at 2am, another at 3am etc. and have all my devices in sync with Calibre.

Is this possible? Thanks.

I don't understand the problem. An automatic connection (Settings / Wireless device connection / Allow automatic connection) disconnects when it is done, so the three devices should be able to connect in sequence. You just need to be sure that you allow sufficient time between the connection attempts for one to finish before another starts.

Are you seeing different behavior? If so, what is in the connection log on the various devices?
