(Foreign node: `node-red-contrib-ui-led`) only for indication of successful action.)

I've played with _Double press_ buttons to stop me accidnetally pressing a button.  
(And there are other people who have also done the same.)

This is ANOTHER try at the problem of getting _button press happy_ and maybe doing something you didn't want to.

This method requires you to TYPE something also - in a given time.

Edit the `switch` node to change what has to be typed, and you can edit the `trigger` node to change how long you have to type it.
