v1.1.0 update

1. We added a new feature where disconnected devices will be saved in the Sphere session/configuration. and when this device will show up again it will be automatically re-connected. if you will remove a disconnected device from Input/output while it’s still disconnected – this device will be then gone.
We have done this so that you can disconnect your computer and switch between different configurations without losing the device’s setup and connections.
