Actions

A simple example using a scene as a `tap`` menu item.

{
  "entity": "scene.telly_watching",
  "name": "Telly Scene",
  "type": "tap",
  "tap_action": {
    "service": "scene.turn_on"
  }
},

Any menu item with an action (tap, template, or toggle), may have a confirmation view added. For consistency this is always done via the tap_action JSON object, even though for a toggle menu item there will only ever be a single field inside. For the toggle menu item, the confirmation is presented on both on and off directions. There is no option for asymmetry, i.e. only in one direction.

  "tap_action": {
    "confirm": true
  }

For example:

{
  "entity": "switch.garage_door",
  "name": "Garage Door",
  "type": "toggle",
  "tap_action": {
    "confirm": true
  }
}

Note that for notify events, you must not supply an entity_id or the API call will fail. There are other examples too.

{
  "name": "Message",
  "type": "tap",
  "tap_action": {
    "service": "notify.mobile_app_on_phone",
    "data": {
      "title": "This is a title",
      "message": "This is the message"
    },
    "confirm": true
  }
}
