I'm trying to establish a time out using a loop counter (will accept other suggestions for time out)
I've tried:
ph_setvar_a (3, {COM_CNT}, {COM_CNT} + 1)
ph_setvar_a (3, {COM_CNT}, integer({COM_CNT}) + 1)
ph_formula ({COM_CNT} = {COM_CNT} + 1)
ph_formula ({COM_CNT} = integer ({COM_CNT}) + 1)
ph_formula ({COM_CNT} = ph_formula (integer ({COM_CNT}) + 1))
ph_setglobal_a ({COM_CNT}, {COM_CNT} + 1)
ph_setglobal_a ({COM_CNT}, integer ({COM_CNT}) + 1)
ph_setglobal_a ({COM_CNT}, ph_formula (integer ({COM_CNT}) + 1))
Any suggestions?
Bob

I use loop counters except they decrement instead. ph_addtoglobal( "devicelevel", -15 ) . Question why the integer and what are the formulas, If statements? Maybe I’m missing something.

Pete, Thanks for your post.
This shows how little I understand PH (I've only used it for 9 years). Aren't system variables denoted by [] and global variables denoted by {}?
I'm happy to use your suggestion (it would be nice to understand it). . .
I'm assuming "devicelevel" is a named variable in your global variable list?
Would this be used with a Formula or a Set Global?
Thanks again for your help.
Bob

I get a verify of 1 on:
ph_addtoglobal ("{COM_CNT}", 1)
I get a ! without the curly brackets and quotes.
Also if I use +1 instead of 1 I get the proverbial !
I would have thought the Verify would have actually incremented the Global Variable, not withstanding the 1, it didn't. When I get a few more of these syntax things out of the Macro I'll test it.

I setglobal “devicelevel to a number - PH_setglobal_a( "devicelevel", 255 ). I then decrement it - ph_addtoglobal( "devicelevel", -15 ) while I also so check it - if (ph_getglobal_n( "DEVICELEVEL" ) = 105 , 1, 4 ). This used to dim my lights - ph_insteon("mbr_bed", 17, (ph_getglobal_n("devicelevel"))) and do certain things at various dim levels.
Globals are designated by various types of brackets except when that are in their own global statements. I may have the wording jumbled but I think you get the jest.

Help me scream
ph_addtoglobal ('COM_CNT', 1)
works as expected (Verify increments variable)
