Describe the issue you are experiencing

I have confirmations enabled on my entities card but when I tap the toggle switch I don't get the expected confirmation dialog. The entity just turns on/off immediately.

`type: entities
entities:

• entity: sensor.greenhouse_temperature_humidity_greenhouse_temperature
• entity: sensor.greenhouse_temperature_humidity_greenhouse_humidity
• entity: switch.greenhouse_lights
• entity: switch.greenhouse_heater_greenhouse_heater
  tap_action:
  confirmation:
  text: Are You Sure?
  action: toggle
• entity: binary_sensor.front_door_1_front_door_1
• entity: binary_sensor.front_door_2_front_door_2
  `

Describe the behavior you expected

Toggling the switch should open the confirmation dialog box rather than immediately performing the action.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1.Create entities card.
2.Add confirmation yaml code.
3.Toggle associated switch.

There's a substantial thread about this over in discussions:

Basically the tap action, and its associated confirmation, applies to clicking on the entity itself, not the toggle generated as part of the switch row.

If the confirmation is important, what you can do is to set type: simple-entity in the entity options, which will remove the toggle and just have a text label for the state, and then the only way to turn it on/off is through the tap-action, which would get the confirm.

I know it doesn't look as nice as the toggle though, so it's not a perfect solution 😕

Thanks for the info but that's not going to work. Without a visual switch, radio button, etc. there's nothing to indicate where to click. The WAF will be zero and I've set this up just for her greenhouses. Hopefully the confirmation feature and tap actions will eventually be applied to all elements on the card.

I'll go ahead and close this report though.
