Hi, this is more to try to know, but can I create an notification on my phone with HA offering to trigger an automation and waiting for my confirmation to do so ?

my goals is for HA to send me an notification every morning at 6, but wait for me to confirm or affirm the request before triggering the automation

thanks 🙂

Actionable Notifications | Home Assistant Companion Docs

Actionable notifications are a unique type of notification as they allow the user to add buttons to the notification which can then send an event to Home Assistant once clicked. This event can then be used in an automation allowing you to perform a wide variety of actions. These notifications can be sent to either iOS or Android.

You can use the Automations UI to configure it, there's some sample YAML down below. There's not an easy way outside of doing either an automation or a script though since you'll be sending a notification and then waiting for an event to trigger the next piece of functionality. Although if you're stuck debugging, we could explore other options.
