Dashboard Auto-Refresh Switch

I know how to auto-refresh a dashboard, but is there a way to make a switch within a dashboard to toggle this on an off? I want this dashboard to periodically refresh, but if a user wants that functionality to stop, they should have a switch to do so.

You can use chrome browser multiple tabs to switch auto between them using powershell script.

while(1 -eq 1){
$wshell=New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
$wshell.AppActivate('Google Chrome');
Sleep 15;
$wshell.SendKeys('^{PGDN}');
}

you can change sleep time base on your requirement.
