Fingerprint / Facelock on garage door buttons in Companion-app

I am trying to determine if there is any way to cause a fingerprint or face lock event when you press a button in the Homeassistant companion app on android?

In my case I have a Ratgdo garage door controller and I have buttons on my main page on my Android Companion-App which open / close the garage doors. I’d like to be prompted for additional security when I try to open the garage doors in the app.

I recommend securing the phone/app instead of the action.

I’m just looking to stop accidental openings, phone is already secured.

Oh, then you just need an actionable notification ← great search term to verify. Not security.

You can also do something like …
If the user is in zone.home, just do the action
else, do the actionable notification

This allows you to not accidentally open it while away from home.

I 'll do some research on it, thanks!

I added more above if you want to think about that while researching.

Please come back with questions.
