I think this would be possible using variables.

 

Ie. Create a state variable that numerically increases by 1 with every tap. Then have a program run when the variable =3. You could then have the variable = 0 ten seconds after the switch is tapped. This would give you 10 seconds to make the 3 taps.

now that does make sense but how to a wright a program for the variable to change after 3 tap

[jmed999]

if: s.variable.name = or >3

 

Then: whatever you want it to do

Take a look at this old topic. It has Program examples

thank you and this is what worked for me

 

If
       Control 'Hallway1' is switched On
    Or Control 'Hallway1' is switched Off
    Or Control 'Front Door' is switched On
    Or Control 'Front Door' is switched Off

Then
       $Away += 1
       Wait  5 seconds
       $Away  = 0

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
