Best would be to "hack" the AF wire for maximum performance as described here: https://lrtimelapse.com/news/intervalometer-hack/I'm having similar issues. Am using the pixel intervalometer you spoke about in your videos and did an auto holy grail last night. Max ss=20" at an interval of 25".

It all depends on the setup, how much seconds "darktime" you need, in order to get the app analyzing the histogram.
With my Nikon D750 I can get down to 1 Second Dark time, but that's under ideal conditions, hacked intervalometer, very small previews etc.
I have no experience with sony - but the A7RIII produces huge files so make sure especially, that the previews that are going to be transferred (the JPGs) will be as small as possible in order to save time when transferring those.
You'll have to experiment on how to get the shortest dark times, do that at home, not on location.

To find out the af signal, just buy a connection cable, you could use trial and error. Cut all three wires, connect two again, try, if the cam doesn't release try other two. You'll need max 3 tries :-)
It's explained in my article about the hack also.
