If a cover is used to represent a garage door instead of the lock platform, it would be beneficial if the UI could ask for confirmation if the garage door should actually be opened to avoid opening it by accident which could lead to damage (if it is a rotating door) or theft (if left open unnoticed).
You can set that up in the UI.
Yup, there’s a confirmation option on some built-in cards and custom cards like the custom button card.
Can you please elaborate on this one? Do you mean with an actionable notification?
I would rather prefer a native solution, so what built-in card are you referring to?

I use a button.
show_name: false
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
action: toggle
confirmation:
text: Open the garage door?
entity: cover.ratgdo_8132_door
Gives you a nice confirmation dialog.
