Ask for confirmation before executing a "crouton-simple-button" command

[gerardovf]

This is not an issue but a new feature.
I'd like to have a confirmation option for the "crouton-simple-toggle", "crouton-simple-button", cards.
Thanks!

What kind of confirmation were you looking for? A "Are you sure?" or confirmation that the action has happened?

For the latter, the state of the toggle and button actually reflect the current state because the mechanism is as follows:

1. Button pushed on Crouton
2. Devices receives message and returns confirmation message to Crouton
3. Crouton gets confirmation message and updates UI

I was thinking in an "Are you sure?" popup asking the user to select "Yes" or "No"

Perhaps I can make that an option for that card. I feel like during normal use, the confirmation popup could get frustrating since I would assume that most of the time you do want to toggle the button

Imagine you want to open your garage door and you don't have a feedback telling you that your garage door is open, it would be dangerous to execute commands without been aware of them. You could have a new option: "alert": "Are you sure?" in "crouton-simple-button".
If the option is missing or the text value is empty then the button would behave as it is now.
