Right now setting an empty host is the way to disconnect it. A separate 'connect' boolean input to the code could be arranged, which triggers connection & disconnection when set - but obviously this also needs to keep compatibility with any command line use. It would also be trivial to add explicit 'mp-connect' and 'mp-disconnect' commands, instead of expressing everything as property state changes.
