Examples

To invoke the action see the examples below:

Add an item to your items file such as a switch:

Switch PollCommand "Send a poll command to the DSC Alarm System"

The following rule will trigger whenever the switch is turned ON:

    rule "PollCommand"
        when 
            Item PollCommand received command ON
        then
            sendDSCAlarmCommand("000")
    end

Again add an item to your items file:

Switch BypassZone1 "Bypass Zone 1"

This rule triggers when the switch is turned ON:

    rule "BypassZone1"
        when 
            Item BypassZone1 received command ON
        then
            sendDSCAlarmCommand("071","*101#")
    end
