Would be a useful feature.
There is a workaround.
There's an app in the Android app store called Intervalometer. It's designed to launch a camera app of your choice, you tell it where the shutter button is on the screen, and then it can push that button on a timer, and/or for any period of time, as many times as you want, or continuously. It's meant for doing custom timelapses.
But you can launch the app, and then launch any other application and have it push a specific button in that app.. Happens that my camera shutter and Seestar's start/stop button are in same place, so all I'd have to do is set the timer value to some very large number of seconds.. say 7200.. Tell Intervalometer to start, with my phone left on the charger, and it'll stop the capture 2 hours later, and with the Auto Shutdown option enabled in Seestar advanced options, it'll turn itself off and close the arm 15 minutes later.
