If you’ve set your Action Button to “Control” > Timer, it should bring you to the Timer page, which will have the latest timer you set as the default. Otherwise, you can create a simple shortcut within the Shortcuts app to start a timer of a specific duration, instead of using the Set Timer available option from the Action Button setting menu:



You can then select your new shortcut in the Action Button setting menu.
