Tap-to-Run is used to trigger a chain of commands with a single tap of a button. This means that you do not need to control multiple devices separately.
There are three main types of Tap-to-Run. The first type is to control a device or a group of devices. The second type is to trigger an automation even if the conditions are not met for the automation to be triggered. The third type is to add a delayed task.
Note that Tap-to-Run will not work on devices that are offline.
