If you're curious to know whether or not it is your heater kicking on, you should be able to monitor that reasonably quickly. There are a few ways to do this - if you have access to an OBD2 device you should be able to read AUX power load, which will spike when the heat is running. Alternatively, you can try connecting your car to 110V power, and then watching your charge rate. If it drops from 4-5 miles/hr to 0, you'll know the energy is being consumed to generate heat. Some other things you can try is to monitor the luminosity in conjunction with the rise in heat. I have several of these devices in the house, and it is always interesting to note the increase in temperature with the increase in luminosity. See: Awair Glow - You will need to find it a power source, and WiFi connectivity, but it creates some helpful charts.
What bothers me is that you're not catching the heating running while in the App. You should be able to poll those stats every minute with the API as well.
As an aside, with weather in the mid 40's last week I've seen temperatures hit in the 90s inside while in direct sunlight and low-wind conditions.
