You want to be able to subtract from the count, too?
Create a global variable called COUNT.
Add a trigger for X-10 RF In, A5, On as Formula...
ph_setglobal_a ( "COUNT", {COUNT} + 1 )
Add a trigger for X-10 RF In, A5, Off as Formula...
ph_setglobal_a ( "COUNT", {COUNT} - 1 )
Done deal! Let me know if you need more.

Todd,
Tony has you covered. I had to think awhile about your request and Im still not sure what the difference is between the A5 on and A5 off but if you want to count them both, you'll need two global variables instead of one...say COUNTON and COUNTOFF. You can just modify Tony's sample above substituting COUNTON and COUNTOFF appropriately.
Also, be sure you pre-initialize your global variables with 0 so the counts work properly.
Dave.

works great! But can I program the formula to also speak TTS the value of count after it adds the value to it?

Just add this to the end of the formulas...
[plus] ph_tts("{COUNT}")
Replace [plus] with an actual plus sign. How did I get it to show up in my last message?
