Any bluetooth module should break the connection if the paired device breaks it

Power cycling is the only way out.

Does anyone know why this might be, and know of a work-around ?

EDIT : I have just read that my particular HC-05 board, a ZS-040 module, has an EN pin. A data sheet for this board states "Pulling the EN pin on the HC-05 LOW disables the module." I thought I could possibly use this to disable, then re-enable the module, effectively resetting it, but I have discovered that "Pulling the EN pin on the HC-05 LOW disables the module." does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !, i.e. the connection to RemoteXY remains rock solid.

ANOTHER EDIT : Just found yet another datasheet that states "EN - Unknown pin. It should be connected to pin 34 of GBT-045MS Bluetooth module, but it seems it doesn't work in preferred way;"

Going round in circles on this one. Perhaps I should have used a Nano 33 BLE on this project !!
