Most of the non waxstat cold start devices I have seen, the linkage bumps the idle as needed.

It is not an on /off thing, but a proportional control ...tapers off as engine warms. It doesn't get much below freezing here, and I've never had one that worked. I think my VW caddy had a cable operated one, but I never needed it.
