Apple Watch : add confirmation for action

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

Hey !

I’m using HASS with my Apple Watch to open my garage doors. But I would like to add a confirmation when triggering on the watch (like I added in Lovelace for garage doors)

Is it possible ?

That should be easy. I have the below automation that activates my alarm and sends a confirmation message. I think that is exactly what you are looking for.

- id: alarm_turn_on
  alias: Turn alarm on
  initial_state: true
  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: ios.action_fired
      event_data:
        actionName: 'Alarm on'
  action:
    - service: input_boolean.turn_on
      entity_id: input_boolean.alarm
    - service: notify.mobile_app_rene_s_iphone_11
      data:
        message: 'Alarm turned on'
    - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_x_de_carlota
      data:
        message: 'Alarm turned on'

You need actionable notifications

Confirmation for performing actions is an active feature request.

Thanks all for your answers.
I have the confirmation from webUI (on desktop and mobile), but not on the watch. I’ll investigate for actionable notifications as mentioned by @deluxestyle but the feature requested like in the link of @zacwest would be great.

I’ve implemented this in a blueprint. Hope it’s useful!

Finally I did otherwise.
I created automations, triggered with webhooks, and on the iOS / WatchOS shortcuts : I did this :

Now I have the confirmation popup, on the Mac, on my iPhone, and on my watch :slight_smile:

Hi,
Can you please explain a bit more on how to make it happen?
How do you add this automation to your apple watch? is it form the action page in the home assistant app?
How did you add th ecomfirmation popup? or is it by defualt to webhooks?

Thanks

I added the question as the first ios/watchos step in the shortcut app.
