Tap protection (in the form of an “Are you sure?” prompt) is exactly what I begged for more than a year ago (including here and here), but the head guy seemed to think I was kidding. So I’m glad someone else finally brought it up again, and it’s being officially considered.
In point of fact, just scrolling down a list of controlled devices (in any GUI, not just Vera Mobile) on a cellphone can be extremely problematic. One misplaced fingernail and a “swipe” motion (hunting for the thermostat) becomes a “tap” and ON goes the bedroom light, waking up your sleeping partner in the middle of the night.
Ask me how I know this. And it takes months for WAF to heal!! It’s also why I cannot use VeraMobile for anything beyond beta testing purposes.
