Manually resume polling before driving
Perhaps there is a simple way to do this that I have missed:
When my car is parked in the garage and asleep, I need to tell TeslaFi to wake it up an resume polling before I get in the car and drive away, else it will miss part of that drive. I suppose I can tell it to honk the horn, but would be nice to have some easy-to-find button I can push on TeslaFi.com from my smartphone to wake it up while walking to the garage.
I don’t want to disable sleep mode because that is more complicated, esp using a smartphone, and I don’t want to forget to re-enable it when I return.

@VValleyEV I've update my post as the values didn't work and fixed them.
I don’t see a button in the upper left to resume polling. Can yo send a screen shot?
All I know how to do is select the settings menu, sleep modes, and uncheck the “sleep mode enabled”, which is quite a few steps on a small smartphone screen.
You solution of a separate app to automatically resume polling on Bluetooth connection looks pretty slick, thanks, I will look into that.
When Teslafi is 'sleeping' (meaning, not polling the data API) there is always a button in the upper left to resume polling.
