Special pattern to trigger automation

Configuration
1

I would like to trigger a rule if the temperature rises twice in a row by 2°C within 10 seconds.

Is there a good way to realize this?

The following should do what you want, but it requires new features in the 0.113 release (which hopefully will be available tomorrow.)

counter:
  temp_up_count:
automation:
- trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.TEMP
  mode: restart
  action:
  # Did temp rise by two?
  - choose:
    - conditions:
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {{ trigger.to_state.state|float - trigger.from_state.state|float < 2 }}
      sequence:
      # Did not rise by two, so reset counter.
      - service: counter.reset
        entity_id: counter.temp_up_count
    default:
    # Did rise by two, so increment counter.
    - service: counter.increment
      entity_id: counter.temp_up_count
    # Did it rise by two twice within 10 sec?
    - choose:
      - conditions:
        - condition: numeric_state
          entity_id: counter.temp_up_count
          below: 2
        sequence:
        # Did rise by two, but not twice within 10 sec.
        # Reset counter if there is not another temp change within 10 sec.
        - delay: 10
        - service: counter.reset
          entity_id: counter.temp_up_count
      default:
      # Did rise by two twice within 10 sec!
      - ...
