Following the discussion here: Widget for starting conversation · Issue #2104 · home-assistant/android · GitHub
It would be nice if the user will be able to create an android (pinned) shortcut that will open the assist conversation window and start the mic when pressed. (single press for both actions)
One suggestion on the github issue thread for implementing this is by supporting additional parameter in the shortcut URL such as: “/lovelace/home?conversation=1&listen=1”
I’ve kind of just assumed that this was in the works already, cause yeah, without something this easy I don’t see how I’ll ever use the voice assistant in HA. If I’ve already had to open the app and click an additional button to open up voice, it’s literally the same number of steps for me to just do what I want myself in the app.

Is this possible or planned in the meantime?
In the Companion app’s shortcuts you can still only select Lovelace views or Entity-ids.
It would be great if one could select a conversation agent here that is then starting its voice recording immediately instead of just opening the conversation text input
