This blueprint listens for iOS Companion App action events. When it sees one with a matching actionName, it will send a notification back to the triggering device, requesting confirmation. This is useful, for instance, if you find yourself (like me) accidentally triggering actions from your Apple Watch.
The idea is that you would use this blueprint for all of your automations that listen for iOS action events. When actions are triggered by a watch, Home Assistant will request confirmation. (The blueprint also has the option to request confirmation for all actions, regardless of what kind of device triggers them.)
You can select how long the automation will wait for your confirmation, and you can also select whether the action is ādestructive,ā which will cause the āConfirmā text to be printed in red.
