> My current problem is when i press the button a 3rd time the light stay off because the led strip is still waiting 10seconds. How can i rectify?
I am still having a problem parsing what that means.
And it is a **third** press. I am at a loss where the second press is in the scheme.
ARGH! Stupid me!
_The second press was hiding in the first sentence._
Oh well.... I had a bit of fun thinking about how to do what wasn't wanted.
Sorry. (to both.)
I need to learn to read better.

Thank you all for your help. That simple flow by @dceejay helped a lot and works perfectly\> now i understand a few more conditions.

My flow was more complicated because it was doing something entirely different.
