Create time series of JRC MonthlyHistory surface water observations by region with R + rgee

I'm completely stumped, I'm trying to create a regional time series of JRC MonthlyHistory surface water count observations (by region) using R + rgee. I'm able to download the total observations of the band, but i am unable to filter by specific values, in my case i would like to select the count of "Surface water observations" for each region at each month. I think it may have something to do with the dataset which is a Bitmask i.e.

Bits 0-1: Water detection 0: No data 1: Not water 2: Water

library(rgee)
library(mapview)

ee_Initialize()

surface_water <- ee$ImageCollection("JRC/GSW1_2/MonthlyHistory")$
      filterDate("2006-01-01", "2006-12-31")$
      map(function(x) x$reproject("EPSG:4326")$select("water[1]"))
    
ee_sw <- ee_extract(x = surface_water, y = wnf_shapes,  scale = 30, fun = ee$Reducer$count(), sf = FALSE)
    
colnames(ee_sw) <- sprintf("%02d", 1:12)
    ee_sw$id <- wnf_shapes$id

Solution

This code should work:

library(rgee)

ee_Initialize()

geom_nauta <- ee$Geometry$Point(c(-73.47693, -4.44500))$buffer(10000)
surface_water <- ee$ImageCollection("JRC/GSW1_2/MonthlyHistory") %>% 
  ee$ImageCollection$filterDate("2006-01-01", "2006-12-31") %>% 
  ee$ImageCollection$map(function(img) img$updateMask(img$eq(1)))

ee_sw <- ee_extract(
  x = surface_water, 
  y = geom_nauta,
  scale = 30,
  fun = ee$Reducer$count(), 
  sf = FALSE
)

plot(ee_sw %>% as.numeric(), type="l")
