Using mic on rpi to open my front door

I am not sure if a doorbell has state, but here is my state sketch:

So in my rule I somehow need to keep track of time and changes, I added questions as comments in the code. Also by using state i need two rules and two items instead of just 1 rule and 1 item. Maybe I am missing something here?

val Number MODE_NO_ACTIVITY = 0
val Number MODE_NOICE = 1
val Number MODE_CORRECT_CODE = 2
val Number changes = 0
val time timeFirstChange //how to define a time variable?

rule "Doorbell ringed"
when
    Item DoorBell changed from OPEN to CLOSED
then
    if (changes =0) {
		changes = changes +1
		timeFirstChange = now() // whats the correct syntax?
	    DoorBell_State.postUpdate(MODE_NOICE)
    else if (changes = 3) and (now- timeFirstChange)>5 and (now- timeFirstChange)<6 { //does the time use seconds or ms?
		DoorBell_State.postUpdate(MODE_CORRECT_CODE)
		changes = changes +1
	}
    else if (changes=6) {
		changes = 6
		DoorBell_State.postUpdate(MODE_NO_ACTIVITY)
    }
	else{
		changes = changes +1
	    DoorBell_State.postUpdate(MODE_NOICE)
	}
end

rule "Doorbell state changed"
when
    Item DoorBell_State changed to MODE_CORRECT_CODE //is this correct syntax?
then
	DoorOpener.sendCommand(ON)
end
