Hi, Ok playing with node-red now so again to drawing board for me 😉, and as off yaml was not difficult enough now json pff that's even more Chinese to be honest 😛

I added a counter (HA helper) in node-RED and I increment very easy with 1 but how can I do this with for instance 5, in yaml it was this but that off-course does not work with the json requirement of node-RED

````auto
    count: 5
    sequence:
    - service: counter.increment
      entity_id: counter.COUNTER```

````

This works but only to add 1 I need to do this probably in the json window, but have no idea to be honest ☹
