Bluetooth Management in Space CE allows room users to pair, unpair, and disconnect Bluetooth audio devices directly from the Crestron touch panel. This is useful for rooms with Bluetooth-enabled speakers, soundbars, or audio wall plates where users need to connect personal devices for audio playback. This feature was introduced in Space CE v2.17.0.
