then
    if(Xi_Leak.state == ON) {
        val actions = getActions("xmppclient","xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp")
        actions.publishXMPP("[email protected]","Warning! Leak detected!")
    }
end

Receive and process message:

rule "Turn off all lights without separator"
when
    Channel "xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp:xmpp_command" triggered
then
    var actionName = receivedEvent
    if(actionName.toLowerCase() == "turn off lights") {
        Group_Light_Home_All.sendCommand(OFF)

rule "Turn off all lights with separator and reply"
when
    Channel "xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp:xmpp_command" triggered
then
    var actionName = receivedEvent.split("##")
    if(actionName.get(1).toLowerCase() == "turn off lights") {
        Group_Light_Home_All.sendCommand(OFF)

        val actions = getActions("xmppclient","xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp")
