Chromecast - rule that checks on Chromecast status

Hi,
If have a KNX switch in one of the rooms which I want to use to turn on/off several media devices at once.
These devices are:

  • A Denon Receiver;
  • A ChromeCast;
  • An Epson projector (controlled via infrared (IRtrans);
    Since my projector is controlled via infrared, I can not get a reliable status of the device. OpenHAB does not know if it is turned on or off. So my assumption is: if my Chromecast has status “playing” my projector is turned on (using HDMI-CEC, the Chromecast automatically turns on my projector).

I’m trying to turn that into a rule, but have not been successfull. This is the rule:

rule "Play/Pause Many devices"

when   
    Item  KNX_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_DenonAVR_10_3_0 changed from ON to OFF
then
    if (Denon_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_Power.state == ON) {
		if (Chromecast_GV_Living.state.toString == "PLAY") {
			sendCommand(IRtrans_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_Projector_PlayPause, OFF)
			Thread::sleep(1000)
			sendCommand(Chromecast_EV_Ontspanningsruimte, PAUSE)
			Thread::sleep(1000)	
			sendCommand(IRtrans_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_Projector_Stop, ON)			
			Thread::sleep(1000)	
			sendCommand(IRtrans_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_Projector, ON)	
			Thread::sleep(1000)	
			sendCommand(IRtrans_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_Projector, ON)
			Thread::sleep(1000)				
			sendCommand(Denon_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_Power, OFF)
		} else {
			sendCommand(Denon_EV_Ontspanningsruimte_Power, OFF)
		}		
    } else {
	    /* Do Nothing */
    }
end

Regardless of the actual status of the ChromeCast, the "Chromecast_GV_Living.state.toString == “PLAY” statement never seems to be TRUE.

Is there another way to check the status of my Chromecast (in a rule)?

PS: The “Thread::sleep(1000)” lines are added to allow me to “see” each command being executed in the room. They will be removed (or if needed: reduced in time) eventually.

[Edit]
Ignore this silly question. I just used the wrong item-name in my rule. The rule code is fine.
