Bought a smart switch for my bathroom fan
Also have in the house some alarm (arlo and aeontec)
I went to take a shower and ask to my google home : Turn on the fan
Google home understand : Turn on the alarm
Both alarms went ON a 2 a.m. (bad experience)
Since, I change the naming of my fan to avoid those problem
Is there a way for google home to confirm a command before executing it
Example : Turn on the alarm? Google answer : Are you sure you want to start the Alarm
If yes : Start the alarm
If no : Don’t do anything
If not answed : Don’t do anything
You could make a two step process, probably involving virtual switches. I.e. Turn on Alarm 1 (virtual switch). Turn on Alarm 2 (virtual switch). Disable GH direct access to the alarm. Routine or piston activates alarm only if Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 are both on. Name them in a way that limits potential confusion.
