Toggle ligth switch quickly on-off

I have a smart light switch in the hallway. I want to create an automation that only runs when you quickly toggle the lightswitch on and off. But I do not get it the work in the assistant script.

Can anybody help?

Hello MDP,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Nest Community Forum. I understand you have a smart light switch and are looking to create an automation that runs only when you quickly toggle the light switch on and off. I would be happy to assist you with this.

Here are some suggestions for creating or editing scripted automations:

Public Preview: For the best experience, please ensure you are enrolled in the Public Preview for the Google Home app. You can find more information in this article: Public Preview for Google Home app.
Help me script: This feature is an experimental tool integrated within the script editor. To learn more about it, refer to this article: Create home automation scripts with AI. It uses generative AI to help you create functional home automation scripts from a natural-language description of your desired automation, which you can then edit, validate, and deploy.

Please let me know if you need any more help.

Regards,

Daniel
