Hi there,
While this is strictly not possible to do within the object itself, sensors that are in alarm status will always be in alarm status unless they are paused or acknowledged to be put into Ack'ed alarm status, you can however set up a sensor factory sensor to use the sum of the sensors to only put that sensor into an alarm status based on a formula. You can set up the formula to have the sensor only go down when there are 2 sensors out of three down or something like that. You can read more about how to do that in the manual article about Sensor Factory Senosrs.
