Google Assistant Stopwatch

I am currently creating an app which should allow me to measure the time I take to do 50 pushups and save it to the database.

Currently when I am calling my app and saying "start" I create a timestamp and save it to the database. When I am finished I have to call my App again and say "stop" so it gets the last timestamp and calculates the difference.

Is there a better way to do this? It just feels so unnatural if you have to start the app twice. As far as I know there is no way to edit the "no-speak-timeout".

Thanks!

Not really. Keeping the microphone open indefinitely isn't possible, and would be a bad idea. While it might make some sense in this case, the potential for abuse is pretty high.

Users can setup a shortcut, so they could just say "Hey Google, start" and "Hey Google, stop" as shortcuts to the full phrase that would trigger your action, but the Assistant would still go through the entire routine when replying. (ie - it would say "Ok, getting pushup master" and the chirp before your action would reply.)
