I think the way to deal with this is by adding an ‘on-off’ switch. This is beyond my capabilities at the moment but I think what is possible is to have a virtual switch that the app watches. When the switch is on, the app runs as expected. When the switch is off, the app would stop and unschedule all the events and unsubscribe to everything except the on-off switch. Then, once the switch is turned back on, the app would start up again as if it had just been installed. In order to keep it simple, I think I would want the app itself to instantiate the virtual switch.

I started to investigate this here Spawn or Instantiate a Virtual Device in SmartApp?. It seems that this is definitely do-able but it may be more that I am able/willing to take on right now. Maybe this is a V2.0 feature . . . .
