Proximity data update

Hi all,
For my home alarm-system I want to use the “ proximity-sensor” to activate and deactivate my home alarm. This is perfectly explained in a nice video ( https://youtu.be/0ojMz1s3Y84?feature=shared ) and it works great.
The only disadvantage I noticed is the update-frequency of the proximity-data, meaning that it takes sometime more the 5 minutes before the data is updated. So meanly for the disarming this is a problem as you can imagen because the alarm is already triggered if I enter the house.

I use Nabu Case cloud service and the HA-mobile app.

What is causing such a delay?

1 - Is there a possibility to set the update-frequency for the proximity data?
2 - Or, even better, can I request an update based on a condition? For example update the proximity data as soon as my outdoor camera (or other sensor) detects a person.

From memory (iphone) you can send a message to the HA companion app user or a notification group if you have created one, from HA with the following message

“request_location_update”

This should force the location/s to update.
