Default FOBO TPMS forcing a reading

I’ve got about 1.5 years and 20,000 miles on my FOBO TPMS, and am happy with them. Although this is the second set. But, that’s not what this post is about.

Does anyone know how to force a reading? Mine just seems to be random as to when it updates. And I’d like to be able to open the app, then do something magical, and have an instant reading.

When I open the app, I get a reading within 10 seconds.

I'm not trying to steal your thread. I'm interested in getting FOBO and have read good reviews. One question I haven't found an answer to is if you need to rebalance the wheels when you install FOBO? Seems like adding them on the valve stem would put the wheel out of balance
