Single Button MultiPress (subflow)

Sends single, double, triple or long press commands based on binary input (e.g GPIO switches or other switches that sends "pressed" and "released" events). Video of this subflow in action here

If you are using an IHC controller, you should create the multipress logic in the original controller software instead.
