Anyone figure out a faster way to remotely activate climate control?

After Google was so kind to remove the Assistant commands to warm up/cool off the car, the only way that I currently know of to activate climate control is opening the app. Unfortunately, the app takes nearly a full minute to start and connect (on Android). There's no widget support either, so no immediate shortcuts to make it work in the background.

Is there any other faster way to get the climate control started on the car? Any other apps or API triggers?

Edit: I was being hyperbolic, it takes about 12 secs for the app to load plus the additional time to actually take action. Still considerably slower than "Hey Google, warm up my car."
