Control of a set of switches By special use of one switch

So the specific time is the time you need to push the button 4 times… even easier

var Timer myTimer = null
var Number myCounter = 0

rule "trigger"
when
   Item MyTriggerSwitch received command
then
   if(myTimer === null) {                             // no timer started, so startup timer
       myTimer = createTimer(now.plusMillis(5000), [  // timeout is 5 Seconds
           myTimer = null                             // when timer expired, reset timer
           myCounter = 0                              // and counter
       ])
   }
   myCounter += 1                                     // each time a command is received, count up
   if(myCounter == 4) {                               // rule was triggered 4 times within 5 Seconds
       MyRegularSwitch1.sendCommand(if(MyRegularSwitch1.state != ON) ON else OFF)  // toggle Switch
       MyRegularSwitch2.sendCommand(if(MyRegularSwitch2.state != ON) ON else OFF)  // toggle Switch
       MyRegularSwitch3.sendCommand(if(MyRegularSwitch3.state != ON) ON else OFF)  // toggle Switch
   }
end

Maybe toggling switches is not the goal, but then you have to decide which switch should be the “Master” (i.e. which switch state should be used to toggle)

EDIT: some additional information…
