Is there any possibility to add a confirmation dialog within entities cards?

Configuration Frontend
1

I try to find a possibility to add a confirmation dialog to entities cards having number entities.
When changing one or more values a confirmation dialog should be displayed.

Is there any chance to implement?

This cannot be implemented by standard means.
But - if you need an additional restriction like “think again before changing” - consider a custom restriction-card which will only give you an access to edit values after you input a pincode.

Thanks for your fast reply. In my case I have enties cards for the parameters of my heating system.
(> 70 entities) and I had the situation that I changed incidently values by swiping on my tablet.
Especially when using sliders…

I wrote a node-red script to store all values and a recovery mode to restore all values.
A confirmation dialog within the dashboard would be nice to have.

In my situation from time-to-time CUPS printer service ( on another RPI in network) needed restart, simple button was no go :frowning:
Made it react on button long press and confirmation pop-up using hold_action confirmation: :slight_smile:

entities:
  - entity: switch.tp_power2
    name: Printer
  - type: button
    action_name: Restart CUPS
    icon: mdi:printer-alert
    name: Printer needs restart?
    tap_action:
      action: none
    hold_action:
      action: call-service
      confirmation:
        text: Restart printer server?
      service: automation.trigger
      service_data:
        entity_id: automation.cups_restart
show_header_toggle: false
title: Printer power
type: entities
state_color: true

Automation executes remote shell script after positive confirmation.

Best and hope it can give some idea, JR

Will never happen with the restriction-card.

Thanks for your input. I tried the restriction-card. It works fine. :smiley:

Sorry, you are confusing a “post with a solution” with a “post where I thanked for the solution” )))
