> ## Force live status updates when your phone connects to the car’s Bluetooth
> 
> For Android and iOS there are apps that automatically trigger Homey to start getting live updates as soon as your phone connects to the car’s Bluetooth. In the automation script you need to open a specific web-page (HTTP GET). The URL of this page can be found in the advanced device settings. By using a optional URL shortener from Bit.ly, the URL is now nice and simple e.g. `https://bit.ly/A2TiGLk`
> 
> There are multiple apps that can do this. For Android have a look at [automate](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate) and adapt [this](https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/36268) flow to match your own car’s Bluetooth and the URL.
> 
> For iOS have a look at [shortcuts](https://apps.apple.com/app/id915249334). In Shortcuts Automation \> Create Personal Automation \> Bluetooth \> Choose Your Vehicles Bluetooth Device Name \> Get URL
