Be able to require user's confirmation of an Action prior to triggering it

[fi-sch]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There's no problem in terms of functionality. It just may happen that some action is triggered by an accidental tap.

Describe the solution you'd like
Be able to set up a "confirmation: true" parameter for a single action. Action defined with this parameter would need an additional tap in the iOS widget or watchOS app.
It could behave similarly to what's already in Lovelace UI: https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/actions/#options-for-confirmation
A simple Yes/No confirmation, or more complicated one with user's own defined message.

Additional context
I had quite stressful beginning of this year. Thing happened in the morning after a long long New Year's party at my friend's chalet. I'm not sure when and how, but I accidentally tapped the action shortcut (probably it was on my Apple Watch). Action was to open my garage door...
It also happened that the action was triggered with a slight delay – because of a poor cellular coverage – and it also prevented me from undoing the action (closing the door)... You can only imagine how stressed I was for a couple of minutes.

I want this too, do you have any update on that? Thanks

This would be great, I'm accidently opening my garage door from my watch :(

I posted a similar feature request that was closed as duplicate. I have 2 new twins, and they are obsessed with touching my apple watch. I have a number of action buttons 1 touch away from my 'home screen'. They have accidentally turned my Christmas lights on, my fireplace, and opened my garage door (nothing serious). I wish the button had options, and one was a 'slide-to-confirm' style similar to the original iphone unlock.

I was having the same problem, so I wrote a blueprint as a workaround. The idea is that you would use this blueprint for all of your automations that listen for iOS actions, and it will seek confirmation if triggered by an Apple Watch. It would probably be better if this were implemented directly in the iOS app (less delay and no notification pop-up), but this should work well for now.

This feature would be awesome and so much safer. You haven't got to worry about opening the door accidentally for example...

Are there any proggress on this ?

I now discovered I asked the same here: #2431

Happy to know i'm not the only one opening the garage door when sleeping, showering or whatever. Is there any progress on that? If not swipable, it would be great to at least have the possibility to hide the action from the watch only (i mostly use them from carplay or from Siri)

You can hide the action from the watch by going to iOS companion app configuration and toggle off the "Show in Watch" and keeping "Show in CarPlay"
