How to set up a "month Counter" in HC3 ?

[Mike MJ 3]

In my old HC2 I had a "Month Counter" . It was set up by establishing a 'Variable' called Month with an initial value of 0.  It had a Scene that used a trigger " day of Month at Exact Time " to Then action Month += 01. This on the first of each month the counter called Month increased by 1.    I now have a HC3 but I can't find a way of triggering an Action on the first day of each month.    Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Mike,

 

This is easy. In the scene panel, you should create new scene base on block and use as trigger item from Time group - Days of month and select 1 as the beginning of each month.

Hi Mike - Do you still have the HC2?

 

I suggest posting your HC2 scene (was it a block scene?), maybe someone can help translate it to HC3.

-- like this: 1e day of every month at 00:01 hour (Lua code; left side in conditions)

{
  conditions = { {
      isTrigger = true,
      operator = "match",
      property = "cron",
      type = "date",
      value = { "01", "*", "1", "*", "*", "*" } -- 1: min | 2: hour | 3: day | 4: month | 5: fibaro day | 6: year |
    } },
  operator = "all"
}

Thanks. I can see how to set up a trigger now but the next step is to set up a variable , for example MonthNumber , and then add 1 to the previous month variable . 
Do you know how to do this ?   I can set the variable but I can’t see how to add 1 each month
