Is there a way to enter a password when trying to activate a device, to avoid inadvertently erroneous activation of one of them.

Example; a device that controls an access gate to the house

you can use a double device or two devices. in one of them you activate for a period of two seconds. in the other if the first one is activated and you press it opens the door. If time passes and you have not pressed, it would do nothing.

I would never trust the security of my house to a device, not a chalet gate to access the plot.
