And another thing. (There's always another thing.)

I've seen a lot of Bluetooth devices and a lot of them seem flakey. For no apparent reason they sometimes lose their connection and go into "advertising" (i.e. flashing) mode for a bit then they reconnect.

I've found this Cypress module to be reliable enough that when you lose your connection you can definitively say that the other end was shut down and you might as well shut down yourself instead of pointlessly trying to re-establish a connection.

That means that either hitting "Sleep" on the clicker or turning off the Poke3 manually will shut off both immediately.
