Homekit : ask for confirmation to toggle light / switch

Configuration
1

Hello !

I’ve just added Homekit integration to my working Home Assistant setup.
My garage door, in Home Assistant is a MQTT device (it is Wemos D1 with Relay shield):

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "garagea"
    state_topic: "stat/wegaragea/POWER"
    command_topic: "cmnd/wegaragea/POWER"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    payload_on: "ON"
    qos: 1

The device is sync with Homekit like this :

homekit:
  filter:
    include_entities:
      # inter
      - light.garagea # jag

On Lovelace, I can ask a confirmation when I trigger this switch (to avoid false opening).
Can I have the same behaviour with Homekit on my iPhone ?

Hey,

Is it possible to have a confirmation to avoid opening garage door by mistake ?

I don’t think there is any way to have iOS request confirmation, but you could expose a second fake switch to Homekit and add some HA logic so it only opens the garage door if both switches are activated.

Thanks !

I never used official Homekit devices, do you mean when you have an Garage door opener or other lock system, there is NO confirmation asked when you press the button to open / close it ?

I think it is VERY dangerous behaviour !
