WTH haven't power switches confirmation as default?

Devices that can control power, like smart plugs should have some kind of confirmation as default, so they are not turned off by accident.
People use these for things like treadmills, washing machines, refrigerators etc, which can all be hazardous when turned off suddenly

Thanks

With a regular action, you can achieve this:

  confirmation:
    text: Are you sure you want to turn the Washer off?

Or a simple thing to do is put them on a separate tab or a separate dashboard of the GUI. This way you have to take an action to first access them. I’ve used both methods to keep sensitive items out of harms way.
